Treadle Lathe
Build your own treadle lathe from ash and yellow pine.
When Chester Knight of Conroe, Tex., built his wooden treadle lathe, he had several goals in mind. He wanted it to be lightweight and portable, easily knocked down to it’s components. He wanted something pleasing to look at, clean and balanced with subtle curves.
