And a bonus of drying with a microwave.

A very interesting flick.

What a fascinating video! I too am wondering how he hollows out the 7' vases, it sure would be fun to watch and learn.

Loved the video.  He sure is good at his craft.  I would love to spend a day or two learning from him.
The microwave he made is interesting.

The man knows what he is doing.  Quite an investment in equipment.  I've dreamed about turning big stuff but never like that! 8)

that takes some time & dedication to get all that going by experiment...   bet it takes a lot of work and then have it crack...    the microwave idea was a great one.  wonder how long it goes until it switches to cooking faster?   what was it something like 5 seconds a min for the first day or two?
