You have to rig the lathe so that it only makes one revolution when you turn the handle area or you'll snap it off.

Jacks, Bombards & Lamhogs?
Finished off the formers for the leather drinking vessels at the weekend.
That was hard on the legs and as I was only getting one and a half revolutions each stroke I started to think about making a Lamhog.
This one is in Willow from Ireland, possibly late 18th early 19th century and recently sold at Christies for £2400.

Quite a job, I'd say.
What an interesting project - thanks for posting. I hope 'Hide Bound' show a few photos of them in use and tell a bit more about the craft of making those lovely leather Bombards.
Excellent, thank you. I have created a link here: http://woodsrunnersdiary.blogspot.com/2011/08/bodgers-blog-jacks-bombards-lamhogs.html
