Went on a course trying out svegsvarv/ pole lathe at Långbrogård in Mölnbo Sweden, with Oliver and Raleigh (@(@Wildcraftedhome). An intense but fun weekend learning alot. Makes you eager to build one yourself for sure now when I got a few tools ⚒️🌳

We are off to the community workshop this morning, last visit of the year.

We'll be having a little celebration, and I will be putting an overflow pipe onto the IBC container.

This afternoon we will pick up prescription meds, and try to get to the Trafford Centre to buy calendars and diaries from WH Smiths.

Really good to get back in my workshop for a couple of hours this afternoon. It has been way too long!

Did some turning recently #polelathe

Svarvaren Mårten Byden visar hur en svegsvarv fungerar, under helgens Slöjdfest på Krutbacken, Kviberg Göteborg.

Svegsvarven användes under vikingatiden men är förmodligen äldre än så. Den användes långt in på 1900-talet innan den ersattes av elektriska svarvar. Men nu börjar den göra comeback!

The chisels arrived. Not overly sharp, should I sharpen them first? It’s for turning on a pole lathe.

@stdh ja, je begint met een blok (Linde in dit specifiek geval). Dat maak je min of meer achthoekig met een bijl. Op de wipdraaibank draai je dat tot een cylinder en dan naar een rammelaar. Die ring is gedraaid en losgesneden op de draaibank want je moet de onderliggende cylinder nog mooi rond draaien.

Dit is de draaibank:

Started turning this plum wood bowl but the core snapped due to an imperfection. I’ll finish it by hand later. Plum wood has great colour but rarely grows straight and is full of imperfections. #plumwood #TheLegionary #bowlturning #polelathe #woodturner #vikinglathe #tourneursurbois #greenwoodworking
