How to make a round rod wood c without a lathe and what tools to use

A long time ago, there was a kind of carpenter called "spin maker", specializing in the production of "rolling pin", "mallet", "table leger " and other round implements.

Make a "bed" out of a wooden square, with a "top" at each end to hold a wooden square of the right length and thickness. Then use a "bow" of thin rope wrapped a few times, pull the bow back and forth, the wooden square will follow the rotation back and forth. Another "knife holder" is used to stabilize a "spinning knife", the spinning craftsman's right hand pulls the bow and the left hand moves the spinning knife, which "spins" the wooden cube into a round shape.

There are several types of spinning knives, wide, narrow, slanted, and semi-circular, used for different methods of working.

The spinners could also make chess pins, and they could carve characters, which was a great skill.

Then came the electric machine, "spinning bed" is out of history.
