We've talked a lot about our folding treadle lathe. But let's not lose sight of the attachments, which also deserve our focus.
When using a lathe, the work is driven by the headstock and supported, if necessary, by the tailstock. Bowls and similar pieces can be gripped or screwed on to the headstock and wouldn't need tailstock support. A long spindle can...more.. | |
