He's a member of the turners club I'm in. Skip the first 48 seconds.

Oh my goodness! The turnings are incredible for anyone let alone someone who went blind and learned to turn after losing his sight! Thanks for sharing!

Wow. I had expected to be inspired, and I truly was. On top of that, I learned a few things about turning, despite having watched dozens of turning videos, and having turned a handful of simple projects myself.

But I fully expected that he had been a woodturner before losing his sight, and then learned how to compensate. I was amazed to find out that he began turning only after losing his sight. :cool:

Amazing.
