if you've got a couple of minutes to spare I recommend the video in this month's Woodturning on Line. Say what you think is the most striking!

The immediate thought that struck me, as the man entered the workshop, was the mayhem of dust and noise that there must have been......Health and Safety officers (quite rightly) would have a field-day there.

I remember my Grandads old factory like this with flat belts.
The two catches with the gouge is what's strikes me.

So Steve did your grandad also bash the wood into the headstock with a 4 Lb hammer?

Yes Tony did see him do that on the odd occasion. But not generally. He never had a 4 jaw chuck only a primative 3 jaw for years. His one lathe had internal spindle thread not morse taper and he would hand chase threads for it with amazing speed if they were slightly loose a bit of sandpaper rolled around it did the trick.
Of course in those days the bearings were not ball bearings but bronze I would not reccommend to start bashing wood into your Lathe now.
