The Foot Powered ( Treadle) Lathe

Views: 5

The Foot Powered (Treadle) Lathe woodworking video is a time lapse of the construction of a foot powered lathe using an antique corn auger flywheel. I use only hand tools, no powers tools, nails, or screws. The lathe can run up to 1500 rpm and it is great for turning wood. I hope you enjoy. Chris
