    what a pain life is.You would think we didn.t exist.
    Dont know anything about wood lathes at all ,and may get banished from this thread but Being a Lefty.I have had the same sort of problems.
    Can the lathe be turned around ?

    (end for end ) then get the electrics transfered to the other side.This is only good if motor can be reversed.Tool rest shouldnt be much of a problem.

    Seeing Ern's Turnfest is done and dusted, I'm sure he won't mind us hijacking this thread for a while
    My old man made himself the left handed lathe in the piccy here. It was actually universal 'cos there was a clutch lever both sides and it was driven through gearboxes so you had as many reverse speeds as you did forward - and a whole lot of noise - belts are much quieter
    For myself, most of my techniques are the same as a not-lefty except bowl-hollowing. That is where the Stubby suits me 'cos I can get around it like a bowl-lathe but still have the benefits of a bed for spindle stuff.
