Jacob Nothstine Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Great video, I like all the little details he puts in the project. Like carving the wood to match the lathe head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Special Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Never did a treadle lathe. Made a spring lathe one time, that was fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helvete Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I like how that guy uses hand tools to built it! Here's a link to a similar treadle design, complete with schematics and bill of materials http://rizaydog.webs.com/treadlelathebuild.htm I must say it would be a lot easier to find an old flywheel like in the video and use that instead of crafting one out of wood! I have a few pulley wheels from haybale hooks I was going to use this design as a base for a treadle grindstone at some point. Thanks for posting the vid, Glenn!

LawnJockey Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 He has some nice tools and he knows how to use them. That slick he made the handle for is a monster. It seems like the only time you see those anymore is for boat building or timber framing. Great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
