    Building a treadle lathe (video)

    This guy has skills. No power tools used.

    The Foot Powered (Treadle) Lathe woodworking video by Chop With Chris is a time lapse of the construction of a foot powered lathe using an antique corn auger...

      That is a fantastic video. He built if in just over 6 minutes, too. THAT's amazing. He swings that hammer and works the saw faster than anyone I've seen before.

          If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

            He doesn't have a guard or riving knife installed.

              I have to sit down and rest after that. Great stuff. Now I feel bad about building my own cnc machines using power tools.

                I wonder if Roy Underhill has seen this video.

                  Cool video! The music is one of my favorites....from the movie " The Sting"
                  starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford. The music written and composed by Marvin Hamlisch, titled "The Entertainer".
