How to Make a Treadle-Operated Wood-Turning Lathe by Bob Ingham

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.

Ingham, Bob: - Between 2000and 2005 Bob Ingham he was on the staff of Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College on a research and advisory basis. He is also consultant to the 'Joseph Walsh Furniture Studio' in Kinsdale, Ireland.
