Treadle Lathe Build (Start to Finish) Using Hand Tools

[@lastingbuild1373]

Thank you for watching! If you like this project and style of video, I think you will also like this one. In this video, I built a traditional carpenters toolbox and may be my favorite film that I have created! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5mzp2iVhtiChNE

God has said in the Quran: { O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous - ( 2:21 ) [He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]. ( 2:22 ) And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful. ( 2:23 ) But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.( 2:24 ) And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. ( 2:25 ) Quran

How this doesn't have several orders of magnitude more views I have no idea. This is one of the coolest woodworking videos I've ever seen.

[@lastingbuild1373]

HaHa! That was a very generous comment and it's much appreciated. I obviously hoped this video would have done better but it just never really took off!

[@simonlevett4776]

Wow, what a fantastic build. Bearing in mind that you made it without using any power tools, you have created something remarkable. It's a tour de force, the like of which i have never seen before. All the best from the UK.

[@johnjackson9767]

I just bought my first house and have been watching a lot of home renovation and wood working videos to get an idea of where to start. There's something compelling about wood working with only hand tools that I never thought about before. Thanks for the vid, and great work.

[@lastingbuild1373]

Thank you! Last year my woodworking goal was to become comfortable with hand tools and between my workbench and lathe, I learned a lot! Thanks for watching!

[@Vikingwerk]

9:00 Well thus tells me the piece I need exists. I’ve been mentally planning this same build, with extremely limited previous lathe experience, and had been debating how to deal with the drive spur. Thank you!

[@stevenrayhoward]

Awesome craftsmanship & dedication. When I grow up I hope I might be half as good. Beautiful machine! Brings back very fond memories of my grandfather. Thank you.

Love the hand tools. Craftsmanship has been lost lately with the new power tools.

[@oakenarm]

Jim your skills are next level sir. I have watched the vid twice now. Well done.

[@JoelWetzel]

This is inspirational. I noticed your use of the Japanese rip saw and want to pass along that the footage I've seen of them in use over there shows a vertical stroke, pulling down. I'm going to learn to use my double-sided Japanese saw and will go about it in this way. If there's much difference in my ability to cut to the line then I'll update you. Thanks for making and posting the video, BTW. Peace.

[@lastingbuild1373]

Joel Wetzel thanks!

[@L3ttuc3]

Those pull saws have become so popular in the past couple years lol. I was given one ages ago and felt so cool being the only one around with one, and now they are one of the single most common woodworking tools I see. You'll have no issues with it though, they are just super easy to get proficient with and so so versatile. It cuts close and accurate and will be saving you tons of time before long.

[@wiscgaloot]

Fantastic! If I ever build one, I think I'll follow this plan, but make it longer. I'd want to make Windsor chairs and that doesn't look long enough to handle all the spindly bits.

[@lastingbuild1373]

Thanks! You could definitely lengthen it to your needs!

[@communicationatoz]

Your dedication to the craft is astonding. It great to see someone do something without all the technology and equipment out there. Loved it.

I’ve begun planning for a treadle lathe of my own and came across your channel that way; I don’t know how I haven’t ever come across your content before. You’re into and doing the things that I’m into and your pace/delivery is right in the sweet spot for what I most enjoy too 👍. I like longer form deliberative builds over the montages and common diy click bait that seems so pervasive these days; thank you brother!

[@petermarsh4993]

Dear Jim, this brief video is beautiful. Maybe you could post a short video of things that you have made with it. I was thinking of making a pole lathe but seeing the high angular velocities and a single direction or rotation makes this concept vastly superior. It’s like an expensive metal lathe without the metal and the motor. One question I have. If you put a gang of three or four pulleys where you have a single one on the drive shaft, would that make it better to use or would it just make it more complicated?

[@ronhyer1956]

How amazing. You are so,so respected! Thank you so much for this video so we could witness your skill.

Lovely build sir, I have been planning to build a pole Lathe since using one last year, but I think I prefer your continuous rotation treadle design, when I get around to it I will send you some pictures and details of any design changes, not sure my hand skills are up to the mortising though!

[@lastingbuild1373]

Awesome! I too considered a pole lathe before building mine!

[@BirdmanNorfolk]

@@lastingbuild1373 hello again, have been checking out Mr Chickadee, as you will no doubt be aware he built a similar lathe to yours I believe you mentioned him on your channel which is how I came to find his film, it's lovely to watch but obviously heavily edited and I couldn't find a link to a more detailed build for it, I was most impressed that he did all his flywheel shaping with a panel saw and draw knife on a shave horse, I have roughed out chair legs this way before putting them on to a pole lathe and I know this is bloody hard work! so great respect to him, I would have planned to to mount the cut wheel and spin it with the treadle to turn the round and cut the groove for the drive cord using a temporary tool rest, but to come to my point when asked if he had any plans he replied that Roy Underhill's book had all the details, and I wondered if you know is this still in print?, as I would love to get hold of it, many thanks kind regards Jonathan

[@ahmdabdallah5811]

What Is Islam? Islam is not just another religion. It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him
