- I was wondering if anyone had any opinion on a treadle
- lathes? It's been a few years since I last used a lathe,
- and I'm more accustomed to the motorized variety. Lately
- I've been contemplating constructing a treadle lathe -
- I read somewhere lately that someone had switched back to
- a human powered lathe from a motorized one because it gave
- him greater control - and was wondering if anyone had
- any thoughts on the use, construction of such a lathe?
