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.

Good to see this. I was born and brought up in High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire the centre or chair making before the 1960s. As a young boy I remember seeing the occasional bodger's hut in the woods, and I was always fascinated by pole lathe demonstrations as local shows. These days I have a small modern wood turning lathe that I use for hobby use.
relaxing to see the bodger at work.
fantastic work your skills are amazing. thoroughly enjoyed your video. Thank you.
Just a wonderful bit of history and woodworking ….. thank you very much Sir!
My God, all deadly weapons and one man. Immediate to seize the deadly weapons and put the assassin in the bond to death. These things are still killing citizens! 😀 😀 😀
Nicely done.
My father used to use a small dab of pastewax and a handful of "lathe glitter " to burnish the piece before taking it off the lathe!
