  • The Ax Handle Lathe

    We’re researching more history about our ax handle lathe for a more lengthy post, but in the meantime I thought we would share some images and video of the lathe in action. The lathe dates back to approximately 1905 and was made by the Klotz Machine Company from Ohio. So far, that’s about all we know but we are excited to learn more through our research.

      I have one similar to yours. where yours has a belt strap, mine has an old chain and sprocket. Babbet bearings. Any suggestions on where I could find information on it? where is the manufacture’s name located on yours?
