Saw BOTH of them. One is a REAL (Cast Iron) Shopsmith, too.
Good work Paul!
You have a sprinkler system (fire suppression) in there, yet?

Wow great story Paul. Beautiful work. I love that lathe! Please do tell more about it. I was considering making a spring pole lathe but maybe I could forward space a century or so and still have something special from the old days.

Tom,i was told by the guy that restored it ,that it was Sears lathe from the 1890s.I can't find anything on it online though.Either way it's fun to work with .I will possibly do some minor tweaking so I can use all three of the steps on the large flywheel. Overall it's a nice machine.i had a even older one that I lost in the last fire.It was all oak with poured babbit bearings and the old oil drip cans on top.I loved that one.

Great article Paul. You deserve the recognition. I too love the treadle lathe. There was a shop built one on Lumberjocks about a year ago that was absolutely awesome. Really gets the juices flowing but I have a Delta lathe and two ShopSmiths so I'm afraid a dream is all it will be. Have a spin on yours for the rest of us will you. ..... please. .....
