Demo The Mastodon, a bowl coring machine. (Video made for the woodturners worldwide symposium 2022)
In this video Ronald Kanne, woodturner in the Netherlands Shows you, in detail, his Mastodon. A huge bowl coring machine.
This video was previously shown at the woodturners worldwide symposium end of january 2022. Big blocks of wood, or even half logs can be mounted on the machine. The Mastodon is home made and not for sale... :-)
With a huge thank you to Jan Hovens.

About Ronald Kanne
Ronald is a wood turner in the Netherlands. He makes commissioned work and his own free work. And every week turns out to be a little too short to get all the work done... He also runs a webshop for other wood turners. It's called: www.dehoutdraaierij.nl. This webshop is in Dutch, English and German. The website that contains his own work is called www.ronaldkanne.nl. You will also find these links in the video.

Ronald great to see the machine in action after having turned bowls at your course that came off it.
Love to see homemade tools. I'm using a late 1800s wood lathe from my family's winery and cider mill operation that ended after prohibition in the late 1930s. It was used for many wooden spindles for the mill's operation. Back then, everything was made from wood. It has a 14" swing and can turn a spindle up to 8 feet long. I added a treadmill motor & all the controls so I could get variable speed, reverse, etc. I've been making many bowls and also use the Oneway coring system. I use the exact same cutter you use and I'm too cheap to buy the expensive holder sold by Hunter Tool Systems. It's hard to beat carbide especially when they cost about $1 USD. I can cut nearly 100 bowl cores with one cutter.
Very nice

Interesting and entertaining video. I love machines and when people create their own solutions. Looking forward to more videos. Thank you.
This is pure madness!!!!
I enjoyed this video very much. If I made more bowls and had the room I would love to build something like this.
Hi Ronald, Hi Jan, hope you are both well. Love the Mastodon, great piece of engineering and a really cool name.
Great work Jan and Ronald! Keep it up!!
Awesome machine. Could you use a unidirectional pin/cam jam rather than a screw? Lise was definitely laughing. You really need to consider a “cricket box” protector - ideal height for pelvic area contact!!
Brilliant, very impressive
Awesome machine!
Amazing
What an amazing design. The “Mastodon” is perfect for your business. Congratulations to your design insight and your friend’s engineering/manufacturing skills. I was just realizing that you offer woodturning classes in the Netherlands! So I thought, what a great opportunity to visit your country, meet you and your photographer (!!) and the opportunity for you to show me how I really am in need of mentoring regarding my turning skills (?) Could you forward a registration certificate for a course in the summer of 2024? Roger…from Pebble Beach, California. Thanks…you and your Channel (and photographer) give me great joy!
I love it.
Awesome machine! Also, very pleasing shape to the rough bowls. I've seen many times a very unpleasing shape after using a regular coring system.
I viewed your video with great interest and found it fascinating. Thank you. I do have two question:
Pretty amazing design and construction,very clever. Appears to be almost no vibration, incredible. Wondering about rpm range? Would have loved a closeup of the cutter in the tool……did I miss it? Stay safe…
Nice machine Ronald. Lies was totally right, it should have moved over 8.5 cm 😄.
Sou um grande fã Ronald estou pensando em construir um mastodont aqui no Brasil me expirou 💪🏼
