How to Make a Treadle-Operated Wood-Turning Lathe by Bob Ingham
This manual, on how to make a treadle-operated wood-turning lathe, gives
full dimensions and assembly instructions.
This machine would be a very useful addition for any woodwork shop,
enabling new products to be made without the use of electricity. It could
be the basis for a village industry, producing both functional and decorative
items.
Designed specifically for construction from readily available steel sections,
the machine could be built by most small metal workshops and blacksmiths.
The ability to make, locally, equipment for small farms and villages in rural
areas is increasingly being seen as very useful, both in the developing
countries and in the more industrialized nations. Being built locally also
means 'can be repaired locally', a very valid point when considering remote
rural areas, transportation costs and local self-reliance.
The clear illustrations and step-by-step building instructions make this a very
practical manual for any small workshop wishing to increase its capacity to
manufacture useful and marketable goods.
