A bowl adze is a special and hard to find tool used to hew or chop bowls. Machinist and blacksmith Dave Voges began making these special adzes when his friend Keith Ruble asked him if he could help him design better tool.

      So great to hear from you. Your father was a good friend, we did lots of programs together through my work at Traditional Arts Indiana. I am happy to share anything that I have. I believe that this footage was from a longer interview I did, which is probably on a video tape, so I will need to figure out how to transfer it. Let me see what I can figure out.

    Having a couple of these timber framed looms, and some other old equipment, I enjoyed this video a lot. I definitely need to upgrade my warping board to one like this gal's at 5:58. Looks like she is warping with at many as 14 warp threads at a time by hand, without using a paddle.
