Brilliant link Thys. I would absolutely use it if someone else made it, but don't have the skill or inclination to make one myself at this stage. I do like the link and all the info there, that is really fascinating. It had never occured to me that lathes would have been around in the medieval period.
Thanks Thys,
Lissa |

There are one or two people around with portable pole-lathes, such as Quentin. You could always ask them nicely if they would bring them along to the next camp you're going to and show you how to use them.

Happy to bring one to any show I can dig two post holes at!
Although I'm lousy at actually turning !

I have a pole lathe and will probably bring it to the Taupo Faire if it eventuates in 2015. I brought my shave horse to the 2014 event and made besoms and wooden spoons. My pole lathe was made for my 1840 re enactment so not strictly period - a few modern bolts that will need blackening! new to the medieval scene. At present making pump drill and putting together a medieval tool kit.my pole lathe on www.tinderbox.co.nz. I am also keen to get into some bone work.
