Wir, Jero und Pirmin Lehr, beleben historische Handwerkstechniken wieder und stellen Gebrauchsunikate aus Holz her: auf der fußbetriebenen Wippdrehbank gedrehte Schüsseln, Teller und Dosen sowie handgeschnitzte Löffel und Schalen. Hier geben wir Einblicke in die Herstellung unserer Produkte und in weitere, selten gewordene Techniken der traditionellen Holzbearbeitung. Du möchtest unsere Arbeit zum Erhalt des historischen Handwerks unterstützen? Dann kannst Du unsere Produkte deutschlandweit über unseren Onlineshop erwerben: www.holzkultur-lehr.de oder uns per Paypal an info@holzkultur-lehr.de Deine Unterstützung zukommen lassen. Noch mehr vielfältige, aktuelle Einblicke in unsere Arbeit gibt es derzeit auf Instagram: instagram.com/woodculture_handcarved/ Neben unseren eigenen Videos findest Du auf diesem Kanal übrigens auch Playlists, in denen wir wertvolle Videos über seltene historische Handwerkstechniken gesammelt haben, die sonst oftmals schwer zu finden sind.
Thank you! We’re happy that our video is helpful for other pole lathe bowl turners. We‘ve changed a lot of details since we made this video, we hope to release some new content soon, but it‘s quite time-consuming as you may know.
In this case yes, but on medieval markets we use a traditional spring pole, as you can see on some photos on our instagram account woodculture_handcarved
Exceptional technique. Your tool control is some of the best I’ve see. I would have guessed the bowls were made on an electric powered lathe. Really liked your tool selection. Thank you for the demo. From Colombia, S.A.
Maybe I should learn to do woodworking this way. I'm both too poor for large power tools and need exercise, so this appears to serve both rather well hahaha. Edit: I also love the wooden work shoes!
On a side grain vessel like a bowl you turn from the bigger to the smaller diameter on the bowl side inside to cut with the grain. The cut on the core (from which the smaller bowl is made later) is against the grain, this can not be avoided and works well with the right tools and technique. Only inside end grain vessels (mugs/cups and some boxes) you cut from the smaller towards the bigger diameter.
Single beveled short handled axes like this are the traditional tool used for this kind of work by bowlturners, clogmakers, wheelwrights etc. It is a very good axe with ideal shape and weight.
The teeth of the saw are jointed and then sharpened with a mill file, which is a flat, fine, single-cut file. The saw is fixed in a vise. You can see it in our latest instagram post. Then the teeth are set with a hammer and hand anvil.
This is a handy video. I was wondering how someone would be able to operate a lathe after the electric grid crashes because EVERYTHING was turned electric and the grid can't handle it. I figured some operations would have to rely on waterwheels, but what if you aren't near a suitable water source.
Le gars là il te met un coup de pied dans les cacahuètes avec ses sabots,t'es mort, en tous cas bravo l'artiste beau travail sur un ancien tour à bois 🙂
Die Haken brauchen einen langen Griff, damit man sie kontrollieren kann. Manche historische Haken haben auch etwas kürzere (dennoch nicht kurze) Griffe, aber wir bevorzugen die langen.
Absolutely. There are a lot more very good pole lathe bowl turners than here in Germany. Only some names which come to my mind: Sharif Adams, Owen Thomas, Amy Leake, Geoff Hannis, Flo Hamer... There are some great festivals with courses/workshops. Northern bowl gathering (over for this year), bodger's ball (very soon), bowl gathering. Often they are booked out quite fast. Or search google for "pole lathe bowl turning courses". Instagram is an important medium for the green woodworking community. I know there are spaces in beginner's bowl turning courses here in German craft festival vonhandfestival.com
