Craftsmen turners have provided articles of use and decoration in many parts of the world for well over two thousand years. Although there are many possibilities for variation, the turning process, in essence, involves the rotation of a firmly held piece of wood (or bone, metal, stone etc.) and working its available surfaces with cutting tools.
The machine which accommodates these three actions, holding, rotating and cutting, is the lathe. The cutting tools may be hand-held or clamped in special frames that can be controlled mechanically, the method usually adopted by the metal turner. This film is a small glimpse in the life of such men… The Master Metal Turners!!
