The major difference between this type, and the modern lathe is that the motion is reciprocal, rather than continuous circular motion. That, and the fact that it is totally human powered. The back and forth motion of a "spring pole" type lathe has been used well past the 1600's era that I study, and in many places is still in use today. The whole idea behind a Spring Pole lathe is that you would pinch a piece of wood between two points, wrap a cord around the wood, and pump down on a treadle while putting your cutting tool to the wood. On release, the springy pole attached to the top of the rope would pull up, spinning the wood backwards, and making it ready to be pushed down again and cut. http://www.instructables.com/id/A-modern-build-of-a-medieval-spring-pole-lathe/ Fri, 19 Dec 2008 03:30:53 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=19795 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=19795 A database of drawings and graphics of mechanical devices from Renaissance and late medieval sources. http://dmd.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/home Thu, 24 Jan 2008 02:33:51 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=17830 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=17830 Traditional turner Robin Wood shows how he used a branch trimmed from an ancient oak tree in Sherwood Forest to make a replica of a medieval bowl from Austin Friary in Leicester. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3RZ2ltC8Ps Thu, 22 Nov 2007 04:46:04 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=17103 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=17103 http://www.stuartking.co.uk/index.php/how-i-built-leonardo-da-vincis-lathe/ Sun, 27 Nov 2005 13:53:37 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=10745 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=10745
