I was gifted a large wood lathe by a good friend last week. It needed a bit of work and a few parts to get it going again but it's running great now. It doesn't have a fancy electronic speed controller like some of the new ones but it does have an awesome Reeve's drive to control the speed. The drive is a clever pair of pulleys with conical sides and an adjustable width. That combination lets the motor run at a constant speed but the output can change speed just by turning a dial. I love mechanical solutions to complicated problems. 😁 Anyway, I had a chance to try it out and I made this tiny bowl (shot glass?) from a scrap of maple that I harvested from a storm-toppled tree that fell last Spring about four blocks from our house. The lathe is more fun than I thought it would be.
