I saw this over on Facebook in the Spoon Carving and Green Woodworking group and thought folks on here might appreciate it and its builders sheer genius
I know a lot of folks also don't do FB so I've copied the pics here
Idea and pictures by Jane Mickelborough
Basically they've taken an old treadle sewing machine base
Used some oak they had to make a frame
Turned a small pulley disc and fitted it
Made a poppet that slides
Made a tool rest that slides as well
Et voila as they said
