Home Made Treadle Lathe

This is a treadle lathe I build so I could set up at farmers market. There is a lot of folks who do not know what wood turning is. This way they can see what it is all about and I do not have to have electricity to run it. It get a lot of attention also.

@dustashbran It is a AMT which I purchase in 1982. It set in the shop most of the time. When I started to build the treadle lathe I decide to us it for the main lathe part. They are not made any more thou. I saw one on e-bay I should have got it for a spare one to have on hand.

@robbiethewood The lathe has been just completed about two weeks before this picture. All the work was done on my jet mini lathe. There is one piece on the table that was on in the treadle lathe

@mykmykmykkk It takes time to get into the rhythm with the pumping and the cutting. Then you can make good clean and precise cuts. It just takes time working on the treadle to be able to do good clean work.
