Just ordered a froe, and was looking for how to use one..
I am surprised this guy has all this fingers, but it is pretty interesting to watch. | | Views: 355 | |

That is a very cool video. I was a little surprised to see how small chair was in the end...or that guy is really large

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

I wasn't as much concerned about his fingers as I was him disemboweling himself with that draw knife. Glad he had on that heavy sweater! Interesting video.

This guy is good on that foot powered lathe. He makes it look so easy.

I'm still trying to find a good froe. Where did you get yours? Still using an ax and a machete for my walking sticks.
Go

Wow.  That guy is hardcore. I wonder what kind of beer he drinks...... Oh, no electricity = no fridge. Probably drinks moonshine and doesn't even flinch.  That is true craftsmanship.
