[Spanner69]

Howdy all,

I have searched but I know I am useing the wrong the search parameters.

Can anyone tell or direct me to a thread about non powerd lathes like they usesd to use in the "olden days".

I would like to make one.

Try "pole lathe."

"Treadle Lathe" is a another you could search under as well

Asia/middle east you might see one powered with a bow, with the string wrapped once around the spindle.

Have a look at this thread too: http://www.woodworkforums.com/f11/tool-lust-extreme-darksiders-112117/

Its a treadle lathe I want to buy when my ship comes in, but its also a great design to copy.

I built myself a Pole Lathe using recycled timbers and after some subtle refinements, it works a treat :)

Bob Easton is starting to build a treadle lathe and his first blog entry (http://www.bob-easton.com/blog/?p=1036) on this has some links to other sites with designs that others have built. Interesting subject - and something that goes onto the Tuit List and the Bucket List
