More Medieval Lathes

I was certain that there must be more information on Medieval era lathes . . . and here is a website that is probably the most imformative I have seen yet. Historic Games has a section of their site devoted to woodturning. Included in their site are bow lathes, spring-pole lathes, continuous motion lathes, ancient lathes (Egyptian, Indian, Roman), and turning tools. There is also a webpage of related tools, such as a bow-operated drill, button maker’s drill, and pewtersmith’s lathe. Their discussion of Medieval games is also worth reading!
