Does anyone have a Patent Number of this, or any of the Olde Tyme Treadle Driven Lathes?
Or more detailed schematics?
There is a Plethora of Material on Wood-Working Treadle Lathes, but very little on the Metal-Working ones.
Thank You.

wat an awesome machine ! cant stop admiring it… i would love to have one..
this will take time
One can make a bow lathe with a few boards and a few nails and some string on a bow. This simple tool can be used to do anything from make a toy to turn a gun barrel.
One can make a lathe from hardware store lumber,pipe,pillow block bearings,bolts and all thread. How you power it,by hand,foot or a motor,pulleys and a drive belt is up to you. This tool can (can being key) be used with enough precision to impress guys who use LeBlonde, Southbend or any other high end machine.
great idea to keep in mind if there is ever an EMP blast large enough to really mess us up.

If you mean was this machine made by hand as the first lathe then no.
I can personally attest that people can make sevicable machine tools using wood and hand tools in order to aid in the fabrication of simple parts.
And I know gunsmiths who can fit an entire gun together using files and lots of trial fitment. A good many of the bits on this lathe look to be cast then fitted together.
What machines if any where used to make the first machines????? Where in the chain does this machine fit????
only dangerous if you were stupid aboput operating it ,. ever hear of such a thing a personal responciblety and the idea of watch out where you stick your fingers:: safty guards only help you to stay safe they only protect the stupid
Ah, the perfection of the CNC Technology.
engranajes, por todos lados
nice, you could take that to the dessert and be under ground hidden and build secrete shit LOL MAN POWER OH YA!! I would just love to have it as a back up lathe for small parts to be made and to show it as a show piece lathe
this has to be the most dangerous lathe i have ever seen i want one

They realy havent changed that much.I think the real brains invented these machined and we just refined them.
Cool vid. I’ve seen sewing machines and dentist drills that were foot-powered but never a lathe. Looks dangerous. Probably cuz it was from an era when you still had to be careful
we’ve come a long way.
come on then, speed it up!!!
güçlendirici dişlilerle yapılmış.ayak hareketi yerine düşük watt ta bir motor kullanarak daha güzel bir sonuç alınabilir
Lucky dog.
The machinists back then must have had very muscular legs…. Cool machine.
Very Nice, thank you for posting this video
Very, very nice! I have a similar lathe with a 3″ chuck thought to be either Winfield or Randa, it only cost me £20!
I’m going to set it up with a motor soon but I need some tooling and don’t have any gers for screw cutting, do you know where I could get these things for a reasonable price?
