...always fun to watch a skilled craftsman at his trade!

Wooden Christmas Tree...........
It must have been made in the Erzgebirge region (Ore Mountain Area) of Germany , the southern part of Saxony .
This young man in the video knows what he is doing.

Wow!

Like engraving it's such a theoretically simple thing. But I think it's like watching someone like Sam, or Phil, or Marcus engrave - they sure make it look easy.

Really cool effect! BUT, there is no way I would work with that open belt running so close behind me wearing a loose t-shirt! You cannot see how close you are to the belt while working on an open spindle of wood unsupported on one end. I'm sure not an OSHA freak, but that entire set-up just scares the hell out of me.
