MDF Rose Engine Construction Instructions

MDF Rose Engine Overview

In Spring of 2007 I published the plans for building your own rose engine lathe using a 1/2 sheet of MDF, some off-the-shelf parts and a handful of machined components. The original article appeared in the Spring 2007 issue of American Woodturner, the publication of the American Association of Woodturners.  

An updated version of the MDF rose engine kit is now being made.
