Mahoney isn't that fast! This guy even sharpened his gouges a few times.

He uses one late in the video. A McNaughton i think

Believe it is a Oneway coring set.

Coring system support looked like Oneway. I like the log holder, simple V cut in endgrain of a log section.

No face shield; long beard not contained.

Looks like a Oneway

Did you watch the catching a catch video.

That's how we would have to dress if we followed all the safety procedures everyone thinks we should follow. In this case he was turning fresh solid wood that he harvested and has obviously turned many many many bowls before and knew the risks.

John, We can both name experienced turners who have died or been seriously injured in the last few years because of one tiny loss of concentration. 'nuf said...

Franz is a machine! He's pretty active on Instagram as @gingerwoodturner and he's working on a 200+ page book (that will only initially be available in German unfortunately).

I follow him on Instagram. He is an impressive turner in his mass production especially. Safety issues aside (a personal decision if there is one), I think there is a lot to be said of the organized way that he approaches this. My best guess is it looks like about two to three days worth of work, judging by the light changing. WOW is right.

That's some pretty productive work alright. Hard to tell at this speed but it looks like his roughing process is very efficient with a few cuts.
