Basecoat. It influences whatever color goes on top. Yellow will give a more intense fire red, white will make it brighter but not so intense, black will give a more saturated look. Other colors can be used as undercoat, but these are most common with red.
So is doing heavy construction in sandals, but here we are. Remember, most of the bitching about OSHA is from employers who don't want to pay for worker safety (or from workers who don't know history).
Despite what others are posting, this is not a "paint stick" or giant crayon, it is called a shellac stick. It is made and used in India primarily. You can find out more from this video, specifically around 13:15 in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMItJDn-9lA
Woodworker here- it’s not paint, it’s shellac! Sorta similar to wax, it’s used on lathes since it melts to a high gloss due to the friction of spinning material. Buff it with a rag for a higher sheen.
Most things made by professional artisans look/looked "industrial", i.e. finished and not sloppy. Most automation is about making things faster, not making it to tighter tolerances or otherwise superior quality than what humans can achieve with simple(ish) tools.
Essentially. Also pigments, binders, preservatives for colorfastness, etc. but basically just wax+. When you make pencils with it you call them grease pencils, but they will burn like a candle.

Feet on the very low work bench beats sitting at a high work bench every day.

Thank you. So, not a toy, just decorative wood.

WHERE THE FUCK ARE HIS SAFETY SANDALS???

"Wooden toy"? You wouldn't, would you?

Bare feet and loose clothing close to a rapidly spinning object surely won't lead to a horrific injury.

What kind of toy? It looks like a vase.

Nice toys and it’s good that they have a safety base to prevent a trip to the ER

Ehhh. The base needs to be wider than the thickest part of the shaft. You're gonna lose that.
ItTookMeAGoodWhileToComeUpWithAUsername
There seems to be a hollow part at the bottom so maybe it’s some kind of vac-u-lock system and attached to a harness or a machine?

Most of the stack are real. A few on top are toys to fool inspectors.

That's a lot of yellow just to reveal a couple of lines at the end?

DustInComp
And if you accidentally scrape off the yellow, you get to start over
nothingunused
I think it's to make the red really bright, it wouldn't look as good without the base coat.
MyCommentsUsuallyHaveTypos
This.
paintingagency
Yup. Some painters undercoat yellow with pink for the same reason.
urrugtheorc
If this were the case he'd have painted the conical portion yellow too, but he didn't

Wearing loose clothing next to a lathe is just asking for trouble.

Don't worry he has his safety bare feet on.

It's called a paint stick but it is essentially a big crayon.
kramorp
It's shellac.
surfacefried
Does it contain lead for some vague/trivial reasons?
kramorp
It does not. The people who invented and use the shellac pride themselves on using all natural and safe dyes.
khora
The trivial reason is we aerosolized lead during a few decades so everything is tainted.
mjperk
So, wax.
kramorp
No, shellac.
