Lathe 2- BIW's Treadel Lathe: Can be set-up for 14" or 16" swing w/ 22" between 1"x8tpi spindle & tail center. I wanted to put on a heavier flywheel to keep inertia up, but no time. Only needs some pedal power to work. It's set-up for 14"now; it has belt for 16" swing. An adjustable link belt would work for both set-ups.

Subject: Woodworkers contact?

Hi Codie! I have a friend who had to cut down a huge mango tree - the trunk section must be 3 ft. across - are there any woodworkers that might be interested in the wood? Feel free to pass along my email if they would like to contact me & see it - conveniently located in Keaau village, just down from the Hongwanji- it is ancient & would be a shame to just be chipped up. Thanx! Shelley
