In the video, we see a person using a lathe to carve a piece of wood. The lathe is spinning the wood at a high speed, and the person is using a tool to shape it. The person's hands are visible, and they are wearing gloves for safety. The wood is being shaped into a cylindrical form, and we can see wood shavings flying off as the tool makes contact with the wood. The person is focused on their work, and the lathe is making a consistent and smooth motion. The background is not visible, but we can see that the person is working in a workshop environment.
