Eeeek! I think I'd want to be wearing full body armour if anything came loose off that, not just a face mask

The white paint suggests its a Canadian Oneway lathe. He even cut away his floorboards to make it fit !I saw a similar demo at one of the UK woodworking shows a few years ago - they are great crowd puller but the bowl is of no practical use ?

I wonder what rpm that is going around?

That looks like fun. I think the finished piece was a large wall hanging. The great thing about the Jet 3520B and the new Jet 4224B is that the tailstock can slide right down to the end of the bed and allow for similar turning.

"These pictures illustate me working on a 112" diameter California Redwood wall hanging. When the turning is completed, the piece remains mounted on the lathe for sanding, carving of details, as well as preliminary finishing. Following these steps, the piece is removed from the lathe and moved to the finishing room. In a virtually dust-free atmosphere the meticulous process of finishing takes place. The final process involves applying many coats of lacquer, which are sanded after each application."

Don't think I'll try anything like that at home, just because the ceiling is too low, like.
