Benchtop Spring Pole Lathe [Woodworking Project]

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I really wanted to get a lathe but my shed is so tiny I needed one that I could pack away when I wasn't using it. With that in mind I designed and created a benchtop lathe from pallet wood. This video documents the making of the lathe as well as a little bit of my attempted turning at the end. I still need a lot of practice!
A lot of this lathe is based on a design by Roy Underhill, though really when it comes to a spring pole lathe many of the designs look similar because they're all rather simple.

    I really enjoyed the fact that it was made in natural light, in a small average shop, with low-end tools... Like most of us guys enjoying woodworking. I also enjoyed the absence of comment (ie M. Chickadee). Thanks and hope to see more from you.

    I thought this was going to be a medieval style pole lathe, because iron age/medieval craftsmanship has been the rabiithole i've been down the last few days. The bungee cord surprised me more than any of M. Night Shamwow's movies ever did, Sixth Sense excluded. I'll admit he snared me on that one. I'd be with a bit of experimentation, this could be vastly improved.

    I love the back wall of your shop. Is that pallet wood? Nothing like the smell of fresh cut wood, and completing a project you made with your own two hands especially when you have done it all with just hand tools! Excellent build and thanks for showing us it still can be done without power tools The first cut you show I believe is called a lap joint, well I knew this was going to be made well. Good Job!

Thats a nice shed door,has it got clinched nails.i made a similar undressed door for my old shed.Next one i'll dress the inside,i want it undressed outside to let the water run off better. I have to build Jeremy Brouns universal router stand first then i'll build one of these. Yes i subscribed too.

    Thank you very much! The door was just bought from a hardware shop and I'm pretty sure it doesn't have clinched nails, I guess its probably just screwed together. It was bought way before I was interested in woodworking. I used to live in NZ when I was little, near Wellington. I'm not a kiwi though, we moved there when I was 3 and returned when I was 5. I absolutely love the antler knife you made, very cool indeed.

    Very nice work. The brace you uselooks interesting. Looks like a normal three jaw jacobs chuck is mounted. Can one buy braces like that or is it somehow converted. I always see just braces with two or four jaw chucks to hold the traditional bits with taperd square shafts.

    Great video! Question: Could you use a mechanism to convert the back-and-forth linear motion of the foot pedal into a one-direction circular motion of the work piece? Something like what's used on train wheels. Thanks for sharing.

  • @ClintRoseCarving

    @ClintRoseCarving

    7 жыл бұрын

    Thanks a lot Steven! and yes you're right you absolutely could do that and there is another style of lathe called a treadle lathe which operates in that way. A treadle lathe is a little more complicated than a spring pole lathe and as this was my first try at making one I decided to stick with this for the moment. Also there's more pieces to a treadle lathe and often the large wheel used in its operation is rather heavy to help it keep momentum, so I think that'd make it less portable than a spring pole lathe. It is definitely something I will try in the future though, when I have more space!

    Try putting a prusik on the bungy cord then attach the cord to the prusik so that you can move the cord without it moving back to the center of the bungy. Nice work on your project.

    Not to be rude dude, but if you haven't figured it out yet, a shave horse or something like that to help you get the bark off of your stock before working it will help you produce better results with the lathe.

The paper crafters, use it for emboss or cut patterns on paper....I am sure that the device can be make it with wood. I wonder if you can make a video if you can figure it out to make it. Here is the video so you can watch how it works kzread.info/dash/bejne/gYeoqsVsorbAhNI.html I know, it is the same mechanic they use in the old days after the laundry ( the wringer) kzread.info/dash/bejne/q3WFwdKIhcuqZLQ.html Thank you forehand to read my comment.
