Description: 
A manual pole-lathe is the classic centuries old method used to turn green (unseasoned) wood with little effort and without the noise, dust, or danger involved with modern mechanised turning. At the beginning of the 1990's, in the early days of my retirement, I made my first pole-lathe from scrap timber for next to nothing, then I went on a three day course at Newcastle to make a more refined one.
