Robin Wood is a great turner, he is a member of another forum I frequent, his partner also carves and they both make beautiful items the old fashioned way.

It is always impressive to see someone who really knows what they are doing though, hand or power tools.

It looks like the reason for all the Rube Goldberg techniques are for efficiency and speed. The the tilting, manually controlled tool rest, rope gizmo, and etc.
Hard to master, but once you have it beats hands down the fastest tool-changer using a machine lathe that I've ever seen.
(The biggest surprise is that vulcanite is rigid enough to not chatter when supported from only one end.)
The final finish isn't quite what it could be on the barrel and threads, but that isn't technique dependent but more a matter of adding a few minutes effort at the end.

UFOs must be real. There's no other explanation for cats.
