I’ll never get tired of watching true craft come to life, and spending time with the talented Ali Asadi of Carving & Turning is always a treat.
Tucked away just outside London in Stevenage, his peaceful outdoor workshop is where magic happens.
Mugs, bowls, and beautifully engineered locking-lid boxes, all turned by hand on a traditional pole lathe.
And the best part, these pieces never sit around for long.
They quickly find new homes and go on to be used and loved for years to come.
I have filmed a number of pole lathe turning videos with Ali on my YouTube channel.
To watch them, head on over to YouTube and search for the following:
