Homemade Treadle Wood Lathe

[onkelrolle]

Brilliant work there. But could you please tell me the name and performer for the background score.

[shane8135]

what kind of lathe was it originally, who manufactured it I am very interested in this also would love to see how you made the fly wheel

[NamesROverated]

I like how your pedaling goes to the music xD

[OldSneelock]

Clever use of materials.

I like the flywheel type better than a spring pole type. Much smoother action.

I also liked having a unsecured pedal. You were able to move it to suit your stance.

Nice job.

I want to do it with a car wheel n tire for a flywheel.

[bingcro]

nice lathe could put up with the music but you are holding the tools at the wrong angle that is why you arnt getting shaving it looks as if you are using the gouge as a

scraper

[lizzy0loves0fire]

Love the lathe. Hate the music.

[drammensveien1]

you just need a better motor (-;

[stokes58]

what were you thinking when you decided on the music for this vid. nice lathe by the way. do you think it would work for bowl turning?

[hffg67]

Wow Dude , Thats awesome. You did a great job.

[Erniz2]

it runs on sandwiches, greath! :-0

Isn't it obvious that the 'carbon footprint' of restoring this lathe would be significantly less than that of the manufacture of a new lathe? Props to didgeplayer - this lathe is very cool!! - and you've got me thinking about how to make my own.

[wulfesinger67]

check out roy underhills treadle lathe it has a different foot bar so you can stand any where along the bed to turn . nice retro fit by the way!

[wombosi]

hey, nicely done man.

impressive speed, it looks like.

also looks like it must take a long time to shape out that bowl.

congrats.

Man made global warming is a hoax. Just live your life. We have had record cold for the past couple of years. The Earth has been cooling for a decade. Foot power is a lot more peaceful.

Woodscraping!

[emlerron]

Bravo on the vegetable oil, thats pretty

cool. Your right one can only do so much!

[emlerron]

Good call on the electric free lathe! Just

think of the enormous amount of fossil

fuel, not to mention the carbon footprint

that went into your restoration projects supplies!

Not criticizing just making a point. Good

luck with your lathe!

[didgeplayer]

Well hmm. Good point. My car does run on vegetable oil so reduced the carbon footprint of the transportation on my part. We can only do so much. The lathe was rusted badly and needed to be sanded and painted. I did not have any paint so I went to get some. I did look around for some used lumber and after finding nothing that suited the job I had to buy some. It happens. Thank you for you comment.

[Axbent]

what kind of rpm do u get comfortably? Is torque good?

[deezynar]

Very nice job. I hope you have lots of fun w/ it & make great things.
