795D – TURNING SPINDLES ON AN ANCIENT WOOD LATHE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION by Bill Hean

It presents a light but fascinating demonstration of the construction, assembly and operation of an ancient wood turning lathe. He explains the benefits of using a turn rather than a collet lathe for turning both wood and metal. He also demonstrates the use of the bow and explains why it is, in some ways, superior to the motorized lathe. His excellent examples of fine wood turnings produced on his ancient lathe gives credence to his contention that the use of such a simple ancient tool can be beneficial to, and fun for, the modern repairman.
