Maybe you guys have seen this before*, but it was just shared with me via a relative at Facebook:

Makes me ashamed that I'm still a little afraid of the skew...

Lots of emotions flying around in my head after watching this. I feel blessed, inept, spoiled, unskilled, amazed. The reason I'm thinking these is when faced with a different problem, I tend toward another tool. This guy uses one tool and does an amazing job at it!
Thanks for sharing.

[Jeff Welch]

Very sharp Skew!

[Doug Morgan]

Impressive and scary at the same time. I cant count the number of things that could go wrong and yet I want to make a joke about the "foot work"

[James Combs]

Wayyyy to cool! WOW.

[Wayne Hendrix]

Probably shouldn't have shown my wife, it's going to be really hard to justify next time I want to buy a new tool.

[David E Keller]

I've seen this before, but I never get tired of watching it! I used to feel bad that I couldn't do stuff like this, but then I remembered that I've got two left feet... Clearly a good right foot is required for this type of work!

[Scott Hackler]

Very remarkable to watch this. Videos like this make me want to buy the guy a small lathe and let him really have fun and create stuff on the lathe.

[Ryan Baker]

Yeah, that's been on here before. It is very impressive to say the least. That video seems to be the hot video on the net this week, since I have seen it popping up all over the place.

A friend of mine had seen this before as well and last year when he was in Marrakech he sought out this fella and now has a short video of himself with the guy and also a few of the pieces that he turned for him. Apparently he is kept extreamly busy turning for the tourists and is able to make a good deal of $$$ doing so. Also he travels / commutes on foot apx I believe 10 miles or so each day from his home.
