The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

Hybrid woodturning

As part of the Sputnik moment we live in TWW wanted to make his woodturning more efficient and high tech so started using a chain saw on the wood in the lathe. It is better to turn the lathe off before you use the chainsaw.

hfec here. wow, that is some rig you got there. and the electric chain saw is perfect for the basement. you are the only person who makes things from the 'wrong direction' concerning the mount in the lathe. did you ever consider one the the mini lathes? one can make like coasters to set you bud lite on, or even barrels for ball point pens. you do do good work. peace be with you....and i watched the fooball game. pack did a good job.
