You inspired me to start turning but due to a little problem I have to use a powered lathe

I do live and work a very nice spot it's true and I never ever take it for granted. It was wonderful out there today in the spring sunshine. Folk often see pole lathes and start going on about treadle lathes and other ways of changing the reciprocal motion into circular motion. The simple fact is that pole lathes work faster and more efficiently than treadle lathes. You never hear folk complaining how inefficient hammers, saws or axes are because of the reciprocal motion.
 
Robin I've recently started following you on youtube after seeing your work on various (many) other sites and forums .
And your brilliant FACT keep up the good work .
