Troubles with the skew? Try using your foot!

A man at work shared this with me. He comes from Morocco, where street-side craftsmen use bow lathes. I like how uses his toes for two different actions-- little toes help push his foot along the piece, and the bigger toes guide the skew.

That was simply amazing. I hope to be able to turn that well with my Delta.

Wow, I am lost for words.

Wow !!! To think that I am proud of the fact that I have enough toe dexterity to pick up my discarded socks from the floor. :gar-La; This gentleman's ability is amazing. :wsmile:

I'm wondering how much more productive I'd be if I trained my two feet to use another keyboard under my desk.

He is very talented! I bet he probably has a Tormek stashed in the back to sharpen that skew!:wwink:
Thanks for sharing. Now I feel SO inadequate.:embaresse

My wife can't stand when I use my monkey feet. Drives her nuts. She thinks I'm too lazy to bend down (I do have a bad back), but I use them because I can! (and because it drives her nuts) :gar-La;
Back in high school, I could solve a Rubik's Cube with my feet (that is... back when I knew how to solve it with my hands too) [nerd alert]

DANG!!! :swoon: That puts a new meaning in "he has more talent in his little toe than I have in my ....." :gar-La;
