I should have put #polelathe #greenwoodworking in that toot. Are there green woodworkers active on Mastodon? Please boost, so I can find them!

This is my daughter, our first tryout of the first pole lathe I ever made. This is so much fun!

@Hermes Is that pole lathe based on the Paul Sellers design? I made one and am quite happy with it, though I am going to make another bed for it with two rails for longer pieces of stock. Your daughter looks like she's enjoying the experience and will be a fine craftperson.

@Squidlipps it’s based on a design in book written by Mike Abbott, living wood. The key of the design is the Manx legs, so smallish people, like children, can also try the lathe. The legs make the lathe bed go up and down quite easily.
