Part I: Introduction
I am excited to build a treadle lathe. I recently began milling some rough sawn oak to use as the frame and I have assembled the needed hardware to make a functional lathe. I am using multiple sources in this project as reference material. I have listed the reference material below.:
How to build a treadle Lathe by Steve Schmeck
Lathe from a Loft by Roy Underhill
Treadle Lathe by Mr. Chicadee on youtube.
The hardware needed for this project is:
1/2" steel Rod
5/8" Steel Rod
3/8" plumbing flanges
1/2" and 5/8" stop collars
1/2" and 5/8" Bearings
Shopsmith Lathe 5/8" Bore drive spur and MT2 Cup center
Morse Taper drill sleeve MT2
I am committed to building this project using only hand tools and I invite you to watch the video series.
