Hobbies / Books   (Gardening, walking, books, films, theatre etc.)

Mac- I do the usual stuff, bowls ,candlesticks, lamps etc., but lately I have done some chinese balls ,and apples with arrows through. I did some greedy mice for our club stall at a local village show and they went down well .
Erontquay - have a Record with speed control and bowl turning attachment. I bought this lathe and some other gear just before Christmas from a club member who had to give the hobby up through ill health,and so updating my old Record.
Dustaf- I have seen a demonstration by one of our club meeting demonstrators, making barley twist legs by using a router and a mechanical long feed combination. This combination also rotated the workpiece without power from the lathe which produced a reasonable effect but needed a lot of finishing . The long feed was made in plywood and with twine "ropes" and wooden pulleys ,but worked quite well. I think the ones in the video are simply copy lathes ,possibly cnc .
Thanks to all for the response to my initial post .
