    Winding masons line around and around until you have about 1/2 inch thick might do it if you are not taking too deep a cut. Tie a square knot in the ends over a pulley. Turn around by hand a bunch so that the strands even out.

    Good luck to you.
    So much timber, so little time.

    Something like this will get you going again without having to pull the headstock shaft.

    Not a cheap option, but a quick solution.

    Carbartec has an expensive offering.

    There are cheaper sources (eg here), but may not be open over the weekend.
    Stay sharp and stay safe!

    A knowledgeable turner has pointed out to me (thanks, you know who you are) that the Woodfast 280 uses a specialised posi-drive belt. Those have to be made to size, so the best source for that will probably be Woodfast themselves or one of their resellers.

    I think this is where you go for Woodfast now: Woodworking Solutions | Quality Woodworking Machinery | Tools and Accessories
    Stay sharp and stay safe!
