The Amberley Bodger shows how to use a traditional pole lathe to create garden dibbers, chair legs, spindles and spurtles using green wood in his workshop at Amberley Museum and Heritage Centre, West Sussex.

I love it. No noisy machinery. Just beautiful sounds of nature, and a skillful old bodger & his wood. Brilliant.
That is a happy man enjoying and sharing his fine old fashioned craftsmanship. Who wouldn’t want to be him????
Amazing work! Thank you for the video! Definitely a great example of how to make some rattles at the end!
What what tools you are using please mention names in written, that we can search store and buy those for us.
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.
Much respect.
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.)
