Sheesh! THat's pretty damn impressive for a sighted person, let alone a blind man.
Thanks for putting me to shame, too

If I can get as good as he is I will be well pleased. It is difficult to tell on an arranged video, he can obviously still see but he looks somewhat 'blinder' than I am. ( most people do not appreciate that there are 'degrees' of blindness )

I used to 'mind' a blind turner at the club I belonged to in Cornwall. Learned a lot from him about feeling and hearing things when turning. Only man I know who could get a polishable finish with 1`20 grit.
