Pole Lathes, Production Work, and What is "Craft"? with Jarrod Dahl

from Folk Craft Revival · host Daniel Howell

#015. We talk about the construction and use of pole lathes, compare them with modern electric lathes and discuss what drew Jarrod to pole lathes to begin with and why he chose to focus on turning rather than other traditional crafts. This was a fun conversation that also delved a little into the philosophical realm as we talk about the reasons for pursuing production work, focusing on one design or craft to obtain mastery, "realcraft", and functionality.Catch the links to any resources mentioned in the episode over at:folkcraftrevival.com/15
