Spring Pole Lathe
Oct 28, 2021
Chris says this spring pole lathe, modeled after the one in M. Hulot’s L’art du Tourneur-Mécanicien (1775), “is my favorite (western) shopmade tool. It’s heavy and doesn’t jump all around, allowing very accurate turning.” Chris has been making spring-pole lathes since he was 13.
