Woodturning - A Spalted Ash Vessel 

What about someone with insane forearm and grip strength?

The amount of sheer control Andy has is unmatched. His hands are so steady and precise that’s what it means to be a skillful wood turner

CNC lathe's would most likely end end in disataster.

Looks like a bowl gouge, not a spindle gouge. A typical spindle gouge wouldn't hold up to the end grain turning in this video, and shouldn't be tried on end grain turning. That said, this is a nice piece of work. Inspires me to try something different. You don't see many vases turned with end grain orientation.

@@luncans8291 im guessing you are joking. It's about technique. Strength really isn't the biggest factor. The roughing does take some, but technique / tool presentation is what really matters if someone wants to do this a lot. Once the piece is rounded it is completely about technique, the grip and strength isn't a factor to finish the outside. The tool does the work, the turner steers it in the right direction with a lot of skill. The lathe typically wins over bad technique. Grip strength and Popeye forearms will result in a destroyed piece if that is all a turner brings to the lathe. And, someone could get seriously hurt or even killed. Even the pros get killed sometimes, or has to be taken seriously.
