Treadle Lathes

[gtwilkins]

G'day all,

Speaking of treadle lathes has anybody seen/got a set of plans for turning a treadle sewing machine into a lathe and fretsaw?

I saw a copy several years ago, don't know now who published it but it converted a treadle Singer Sewing machine and from what I can remember it wasn't too terribly complicated.

I just acquired a treadle sewing machine base its complete so I don't want to make it into a table like I have before.

Thanks Trevor
