    Treadle Lathe

    Originally posted in Turning, but I think Hand Tools is more appropriate. ———— I built this gnarly treadle lathe from Roy Underhill’s “Lathe from a Loft” article in a past issue of Popular Woodworking. I dismantled the kids’ old playset early this summer and repurposed some of the wood to...

    This is how the treadle is connected to the tie rod. This has never given me trouble.

    Treadle lathe update: Making wood dizzy (now with pics)

    Treadle lathe:update

    I haven't reported much progress on my treadle lathe because, well, I haven't made much progress. My wife and I agreed to cut expenses until we sold our old house. Two things have happened to start progress. We have a contract on the house and I have been given the starts of a treadle lathe...

    Treadle lathe

    Now that I have my own garage bay for a shop, I'm entertaining the idea of building something I have wanted to build for some time, a treadle lathe. I have 2 plans from St Roy, plus other resources around the net. I like Roy's frame design, but even he admits his flywheel is too intricate in...
