Large Turning Project

[Tom De Winter]

This video was posted on a scroll saw forum I monitor. The video is long and you may want to skip ahead a few times.
As he started turning I couldn't help but envision the result of it coming off of the lathe. Talk about being in the line of fire! It would have run him over like a steam roller.

There was a photo somewhere that showed a huge turning in Germany. A tractor hub was used as the headstock. I'm guessing the blank was several feet in diameter. Anyone here recall the photo or video?
Edit- Saw a video of a lady turner, I believe in NC. Had a tractor hoist to life blanks. Anyone recall her name?
Edit #2- I think this is the lady.

I'm thinking those would make good ice cream bowls.

Oh pshaw. Didn't even hollow it.

Much more impressed with his chainsaw and carving skills vs turning.
