The Ornamental Turning Center in no way warrants or guarantees any of the information placed on this page as correct or accurate, nor does the Ornamental Turning Center profit in any way from the ads placed here. So far, I have not had any problems reported to me about these ads, and I believe the advertisers are generally trustworthy. But, because this is a free and open service for woodturners and lathe nuts, anyone could post here, and you should use caution and good sense when answering an ad.

NOTE: As of July 20, 2005 I've had to discontinue the offering of this free want ad service due to the large number of spammers offering no-to-low value items. These selfish people really ruin it for everyone. Please never do business with a spammer!

If you have a OT-oriented want ad you can still email it to me and I will (time permitting) post it for you here manually. Spammers of course will be ignored. I make no promises about making the time to post your ad, but if it is a legitimate ad of value to site readers I will not ignore it.

For sale: Fine condition Barnes #3 treadle lathe, complete and with most original pinstriping and floral decorative painting. No breaks or repairs. This is the finest example of this type lathe I have seen -- better even than the one I saw in the Smithsonian which had been repainted. If only the finest will do for your tool collection, then add this impressive and historically important fullsized treadle lathe and make quite a statement! This is a musuem piece. Price is $8750 including shipping within the continental USA. If you can pick up then the price will be discounted. Please contact Steve Johnson at 425-868-1532 or steve@finetools.com.
