CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
In recent times, the demand for interior decorations and furniture has been on the increase. With it comes the choice of various designs and models. This has led to the design of a good number of machines that can be used by the craftsmen to create different wood designs amongst which is the wood lathe machine.
1.1 OBJECTIVES
The main objectives of this project are to:
(a) Use available local materials in fabrication
(b) Achieve a reduction in the cost of production of the machine
(c) Reduce the labour cost and time spent on using hand tools for wood dressing
(d) Create awareness for, and encouragement of indigenous technology
(e) Increase Productivity and creativity
The vital need for the fabrication of wood lathe is significant in the much delay and time as well as energy wasted in using simple hand tools to carry out jobs moreover, the cost of importation of a lathe machine is tool high for an average war. Similar to the use of other machine tools, the wood lathe machine will help to reduce the cost and consequently increase the rate of production and craftsmen skill. It is also important to explore the design of machines to improve on the ones already in existence.
1.2 LITERATURE REVIEW
This covers a brief but concise history of the lathe machine, and other works relevant to this project, which had been done earlier.
1.3 TREAD IN LATHE MACHINE FABRICATION
The emergence of the lathe machine date back to an unknown period, but it gained popularity between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Then opticians used it for cutting lenses used in the construction of astronomical telescope. They modified the relatively rough technique for special purposes. Artisans and furniture makers used the larger lathes in turning frame works though the frames were made of wood and had one or two headstocks depending on the work being done. The wooden frame made it inaccurate.
Discussed below are some related lathe machines:

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ] To achieve the aim of producing a functional and efficient wood lathe machine. We analyzed and as well synthesized the different possible design solutions and concepts. We carried out the analysis of different component part of the machine to determine their suitable dimensions based on loading and stresses due to them. We used available local material and tool from a private workshop. We also made use of some machine tools in the school workshop. Finally, the parts were assemble and t ... Continue reading---
