Wow, that is amazing. I wish we lived closer. Many of my students are as fascinated with your woodworking as I am. We enjoy all your posts and would love to visit your shop. I hope you have the opportunity to share your talents in person with young people in your area. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for all the compliments, guys! I think the old ways of doing things are the best. I have tried to spark interest in this type of woodworking in my neighborhood and all I hear is … "OH MY, how long does that take?" Oh well …
That is a fine looking shop asset you have there! This makes me want to run home to my parents and get my high school wood shop project treadle lathe out of storage and do the final tweaks on it! I enjoy the traditional human powered machines. Keep on inspiring the younger generation to keep this tradition going!
Thanks, Mads! With the warmer temps and longer days my bride has a hard time pulling me out of this place.
Thanks, Jeremy! I hope you do get the treadle lathe up and running. It will still be quite different from the spring pole which cuts only on the down stroke!
Thanks, Rick! Come on now … you know you want one!
