There are almost too many things to list to be impressed by here. Skew work, off center turning, doing the whole thing on pen jaws, the surprise of the candle in the end. So much excellence! Awesome work!

Thanks Dave! I think it's probably the catchiest one in my repertoire, I can't think of another that took as many failed attempts to get there in the end 😂 Cheers pal!

I just realized there is something different about watching your turning videos compared to the others I watch. Your tools are clearly much sharper than the others. I realized you just cut through the wood like butter and made super quick work of making a round base to work with. From there it is just a pleasure to watch the creativity you always manage to come up with. This project is perfectly named as it definitely looks like a crankshaft. Well done as always!!
