Description
A Pole Lathe is a simple piece of technolgoy that's been used for centuries to make turned items - from candlesticks and spindles to bowls and plates - using just leg power! On this weekend workshop, you'll make your own Pole Lathe to take home with you, learning new skills as you create the component parts.
