Good luck, I hope your teacher lets you. Powered lathes are scary, but its also an amazing tool to learn! My woodworking teacher was missing multiple fingers and would say somewhat racist things. He was _old school_, good woodworking teacher but ehh... problematic human. Anyway, we got to use the lathe a lot and he used to yell at me frequently because I didn't know what I was doing. We all turned a few small bowls, and random handles. Learned a lot from him! His initials were RF and thats what everybody called him, RIP RF. School in the ~90's and in the midwest (we also had Future Farmers of America (FFA) at our school). (Apparently he lost one finger during a yearbook photo shoot demonstrating the table saw, or so the rumors went)
Back in the ancient times (8th grade 1968) we did "Wood and Metal Shop". One of my projects was a walnut goblet. Difficult but with careful instruction I got it done! My mother kept it and now I still have it! It's a shame they don't have these types of classes anymore.
Either our woodworking teacher was more reckless, or your woodworking teacher is not generous enough with his trust. We all got to turn a bowl. Granted, it was supervised the entire time and the kill switch was directly under his palm while doing it. I don't know exactly where that bowl went. I know I used to keep my car keys in it.
My grandfather loved to turn bowls. He did so well into his eighties when his failing eyesight made it unsafe. Despite having ten children, each household in the family has an immense collection of his work, which are all the more treasured since his passing.
You should! Crafting helps with anxiety and stress because you have to put your full focus on what you are doing rather than your problems. Sounds amazing
If you don't fix it up for use yourself you should 100% sell or donate it for someone else to have hours of enjoyment using 😊 Definitely intrigued how something so heavy & sturdy by design ended up being hauled up into an antic.
@@mnicholl93 actually doing some work in the attic so took apart the old lathe and now it's in garage so hopefully soon I'll have time to put it together and put it to work. Might make a yt too
I love spalted beech. I use it to make walking sticks and wall / tabletop ornaments. Always interesting results, even when my woodworking isn't wonderful.
I loved this video!! Nothing makes me happier than watching a master craftsperson at their work. The pole lathe was fascinating to see, and I was surprised at how quickly Jack was able to shape the bowl given that he had to continually pedal. I suppose bowyers got very efficient in their movements. Beautiful to watch, and I would love to have one of these little bowls!
That ruddy brown your spalting fungi give you is beautiful. Here in the US you'll most often see a dirty blue-grey settling in green wood, but the black lines and bright reds/greens/yellows you can find if you're lucky are beautiful.
Hello Eoin! I saw some of your content posted on Facebook, probably by a third party wannabe or something. But I was wondering where I could find the actual source so I could support you properly! My grandfather was a carpenter and woodworker, sadly the skill was not inherited by me but I do love watching people with your level of skills. So glad I’m able to follow along your journey now!
If it were I, I would build a ratcheting spindle and add a heavy flywheel to keep things spinning between foot pumps and gouge inserts. You might even be able to incorporate something as simple as a coaster brake from a child's bicycle to facilitate an over-running clutch, the weighty flywheel maintaining rotation. I bet a chunk of burl would make a handsome bowl.
If only someone had thought to film George Lailey - the last professional bowl turner in England - working before he died in 1958! He was the last of the breed, the absolute last in a line of traditional bowl turners lasting thousands of years. Apparently he carved multiple bowls from each chunk of wood. If only someone had filmed him!
Interesting choice to film / cut in 4:3 aspect ratio. Don't see that much these days, given 1440x1080 hasn't really been used since HDV cam died. I do kinda miss 4:3 though, but that might just be nostalgia.
Great job. You should narrative if you have time. You have a great voice for the yanks to be listening to!! I love to see things like this. You could also add other trades like wall building or stone masonry, or even more bowls by different people!!! This is class, i could keep going! Try and figure out how to level the audio, if your into that sort of stuff. Could make a huge difference in quality.
Check his channel page if you haven't yet there was another video about a traditional stonemason building up a replacement wall in a section of a building! It was cool as heck, and hopefully he shows off some more trades like this too.

My woodwork teacher said he's only ever let 1 student turn a bowl but I'm determined to be the next

Update I'm doing my finals project for 3rd yr and doing a footstool going well 😃

Was he turning by foot like this Caoimhen? I'd love to know more!
@@diarmuidsynnott I'm afraid not, he was a man who loved a good machine no matter what it did 😂
Incredible talent with the rough draft ❤
His "rough rounding" with an axe is incredible.
I was thinking the same thing. He is better at flattening with an axe than I am with a hand plane 😢
Its a bit of a workout but not that hard..
@@SerifSansSerifhe means the crazy accuracy he has
I like the site view pan at 19:00 - rustic old-time style village hut situation but there's a lawnmower
What do you mean? We've had powered lawnmowers in the Eire & British Isles for hundreds of years!
Fantastic talent! Eoin, thanks for sharing this with us!!!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Another week, another soothing brogue to calm the nerves.
Thanks! Beautiful job great watching Eoin
Wow! Thank you Glen. That’s very generous of you altogether. I’m glad you liked it.
Omg! I just realized I have one of theses old lathes at my grandma's in the attic... I kinda wanna make it operational now

One thing I've learned growing up. There's something very satisfying right down to the soul working with your hands. Thank you!
I love spalted beech. I use it to make walking sticks and wall / tabletop ornaments. Always interesting results, even when my woodworking isn't wonderful.
Oh wow, that was impressive! What a quick process, I thought it would take him hours to hollow out and finish that bowl! Nicely done!
Great to see footlathe work in Ireland getting a bit more love. Nice to see my tools getting used well!
really cool to see. also love that Eoin's on-location camera of choice is some 2002 camcorder
Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing
Beautiful. I'm hoping to build my own pole lathe in the coming weeks. Can't wait to give it a go!!

21:55 incredible sound when you removed the core!
beautiful bowl!
very relaxing to watch
The man is an artist!!
The more of these kinds of videos, the better
wow no wonder bowls were so precious back then

That was extremely satisfying!
Love watching the chips fly with nothing but human power. Something simply elegant about that.
Thank you for the video, I had wondered how a bowl was made in period. Thanks again ..
Well now I have to figure out how to build a peddle lathe. Great content!
WhenI was at school I just sawed the base off, then it was chisel and lots of hand sanding. all the best rab
Wow that was so fucking cool! Thanks for sharing!
How fun is your friend! Very cool indeed!😮
Old youtube documentary vibes, unexpected nostalgia
Lovely to see an old trade still going
Thanks for this. I’m a potter. Making a bowl in wood is faster but harder physically. Interesting process.
I want this bowl. Awesome stuff.
I would love to see you take a shot at making a bowl or cup
It's been too long since I've turned a bowl. This makes me want to "have a go at it" again.
Just intriguing. This should be a part of Eco tourism.
Absolutely awesome. 🎉 Thank you very much for this content.
😳 That was quite fascinating, I can't imagine how i missed seeing it when it was posted. 👍👍👍
Beautiful and impressive
Stunning! Very satisfying.

Someday I’ll have this skill 💯
Awesome video, learned a lot. Thanks!
Great work Jack
Great video Eoin.
That is terrific. Thanks!
Very nice work fella it very interesting and informative 👍
woah this is awesome, love your videos!
Fascinating, simply fascinating.
Finally a new long video🥳
Beautiful stuff, thank you very much for sharing this with us!
Awesome love your content
Very nice. Good video, thanks you.
That is fascinating. Excellent share.
😂"really don't know what I'm doing till I do it" 😅
Could you do a video on making that hat?
This is grand!!
Great video! Love the channel! Cheers from South Carolina

now that is something id love to see !!!
@@evanoc12345678
Build it!
Cool make it and post the video
You just reinvented the treadle powered lathe! 😄 Its a good idea though, and was the next evolution in the development of the lathe.
That was freaking cool. He needs a youtube.
This is awesome
...and foot!! Very cool 😎
Great video. Wow that is a slow way to make a bowl

Well done men 🎈
amazing content
It seems I always find the best videos when its time to go to sleep
Sweet vid!
Very impressive skills! I think we should all have more ash bowls in our lives instead of Ikea ones!
What kind of curing is required before cutting, or is green wood preferred?
That's a
beautiful bowl. Are they for sale?
I can see why people started doing pottery.
Pottery isn't any easier
@@reesespuffs8998 generally speaking its a much more efficient way and yeah it is easier to make a simple bowl compared to wood turning.
Great video. Is that tunic wool or cotton, or maybe hemp??
Show us how to make an apple press!!! Love the content :)
A real life Bodger? Aye !!
Thats just down the road from my house . Watched this chap do this during the summer
"Oops; a bit too much. Perfect! - Derek Bieri
21:56 NOICE
Leave the middle on two and make 3 bowls that stack. That'd be sweet.
Hi Eoin. Do you have a bucket list of projects you'd like to do, I know you repair tools but would you like to make anything from scratch?
Ooooo wood fwiends! ☺️
Love that bowl❤ I collect wooden bowls now I'll need to get one like that.😊
Interesting choice to film / cut in 4:3 aspect ratio. Don't see that much these days, given 1440x1080 hasn't really been used since HDV cam died. I do kinda miss 4:3 though, but that might just be nostalgia.
I've seen some people sand and apply oil while it's still turning on the lathe and then take it off after that
Sandpaper wasn't available in period. It sure would be smoother, though, wouldn't it?
Off-topic but how do you feel about Dunlap planes?
This type of technology easily dates back 5,000 years, or at least the bow-lathe does.
Is this piece from the tree you two pulled out of the woods?
🎉👏🏽
So much talent........ But I can't work out why he has a cane basket on his head????
Couldn't you keep a bucket of oil and dip your wooden products in? Or leave it there until they are fully saturated?
I Did A Thing made a spoon from a spoon I think
As a carpenter have you heard about the wooden interlocking log structure that was found that still holds from half a million years ago in Zambia?
That’s simply not true
Left leg.. Main artery! Surely a shokunin would be better for doing the base?
Yeah, would've made me feel a little better to see him at least put down a piece of leather or something to protect his leg first.
this was super cool! it was a bit hard to hear what Jack was saying at times though. you should invest in wearable microphones 😂
He Definitely doesn't skip leg day
The base needs to be concave, convex will spin on the table.
Great job. You should narrative if you have time. You have a great voice for the yanks to be listening to!!
I love to see things like this. You could also add other trades like wall building or stone masonry, or even more bowls by different people!!!
This is class, i could keep going!
