Comments:
These photographs are posted on behalf of the owner, Rudy Mortensen. Although Stewart is best remembered for his treadle lathes, this one was always belt-driven. The double vee ways of narrow form is a typical construction of a quality lathe from the era before the planer removed much of the labor of flattening a larger surface.
