Check out part 2 on using an AXE . How about those GLOVES and part 3 do you think he is using a big enough drill bit.
I just dont have the words..........

That's the video I watch before I turned my first pen I thought the ax worked very nicely

I wonder how many beers he had before the 1st time he tried the garden tools?
I think I'm going to check the Glaser site to see if they have a folding survival roughing shovel gouge...
Nope, no luck, I guess they are behind the times. Maybe Doug Thompson will beat them to it.

Man... I would love to spend a week taking lessons from that guy! May be a little unorthodox but imagine the fun!!

Where am I supposed to find a cryogenically treated, powdered metal axe with sufficiently high vanadium content? Sheesh!
Although it's a little hokey, he's basically just using a giant skew.
I guess whatever works.

Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funnybone.
Once you get past the wide array of tools he uses, he actually has very good tool control and his verbal instructions are very good. I suspect the guy has been turning for a long time and probably very good at it. The edge he had on the railroad spike was impressive!
Not sure about the gloves, though - that one bothers me.
I love the "make do or do without" generation. My wifes grandfather was just like this guy and was truly amazing to work in the shop with. I grew up in construction, but I learned more about shop work and furniture making from him than anyone I had ever worked with. He was a master at "repurposing" tools to do what you needed done... and was always very safe about it.
John, I agree, the gloves scare me to death... I kept thinking that the loose finger tip was going to get snagged an yanked in between the wood and tool rest a couple of times when he was patting the spinning wood while talking...
An axe is just a skew chisel. I didn't watch much of the video but I see no reason you couldn't sharpen a garden spade and have at it. The baggy gloves are another issue all together.
