Lathe for turning Axe & Hammer Handles? Copy Lathe?
Evening Gents.
I would like to acquire a machine which can cut & shape axe handles and other tool handles from Australian hardwood, or locate any information on the process. Is this done with a copy lathe or something similar? I'd like to think the machine can shape everything from an axe handle to a pick handle, and maybe a sledge hammer as well. I have no problem with older equipment - in fact would probably prefer something vintage, but any leads, links or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks - Wayne (Gosford NSW area)
