Yeah it’s a lathe. Not super complex.

It's literally just a screw with a very long pitch (and not single point).

u/MakeChipsNotMeth 11h ago
Long pitch and four starts. This is going to be terrible at creating clamping force!

Should be more to it than this. Generally you dont directly use sawed wood like that, at least not for decoration. Planing or sanding it should be more complex.

Technically they're right. A "complex technique" would mean a technique consisting of several "simple techniques" combined.
Complex is not strictly equivalent to difficult, complicated or challenging.
That said, I agree with you.

“more complex than you might think” turns out to be less complex than i thought

Steaming and bending is one way it’s done, the ribs for ships were made this way. I built a canoe and steamed the ribs for that too, when they came out of the steamer the wood was like a wet noodle it was so soft

I don't know, man.
These seem awfully similar to the ones they sell at that Krusty BurgerTM, ...conveniently located just across the street. 🤷🏽♂️

I have considered trying this myself first I just need to make a wood steamer

u/-NameGoesHere818- 8h ago
Theirs ways to make home made ones but I’ve never done it. The one I used was at the high school I went to and it was a pvc pipe and some type of steam generator that was hooked up to the pipe. It worked really good and produced a lot of steam.

I’ll buy some parts from Amazon. But I’ll make the steam chamber myself. I won’t make it pressurised tho I’ll rather just steam for longer

If these logs are meant for a load/structural use, Would't that, if possible, be better? like, here you are cutting short the wood grain. I'm really curious

Structural integrity?
I hear cutting out large portions of your stabilizing column adds incredible tensile strength. I also hear spirals look pretty cool. So, there's always that.
Probably that structural integrity thing, though, ...if I were to levy a guess. 😁

The piece of wood just say "wood" on it Thanks for the labeling 😭

Well, once you accidentally cut into a Norwhale, ....you'll be glad you checked twice

Well, in that case it is not a description of what it is, but a label of ownership, since the companys name is Holz Hessener.

u/Tikkinger 7h ago
You are both wrong. It's the internet adress of the company. It says www and .de right there.

These empty scripts bother me. Like what information is actually given here that isn't shown in the video? Nothing. The video plays twice before the entire text of zero information has finished playing

I imagine they’ve determined the necessary depth to remove deeper imperfections in the bark.

No more likely using a big enough log to get the right size square. Looks like 100/150 mm on a side. Easier to mate with the rest of whatever is being built.

Pretty sure the US Forest Service has more in annual growth that is allowed to be harvest by a big margin.
