I moved to Portugal from Northamptonshire a few year ago and I miss the Country shows that show these skills. The nearest we get locally is wooden spoon makers (whose skills are awesome.)

I love it. No noisy machinery. Just beautiful sounds of nature, and a skillful old bodger & his wood. Brilliant.

Amazing work! Thank you for the video! Definitely a great example of how to make some rattles at the end!

And no Mashed potato in sight!
(80s Brit kids will get it…)
I'm planning a lathe build so may have to sub your channel, I've an idea or two to maximise effort/output and minimise fatigue but will basically be building a non-electric lathe,
I love overcoming mechanical and mental challenges so the end product is just a bonus for me.
