Perhaps a foot driven pedal (sewing machine) arrangement? A low RPM would be in order, I believe.

Don't forget a proper knurling tool to achieve those custom details they use on carrots in Chinese cuisine.

Thanks all!

This is refreshing, I was a mod on a vintage fly fishing equipment forum for years and especially enjoyed the Members' Area. Good times.

Anyone?

While the usual kitchen lathe only peels an apple, that one is sturdy enough
to go for the REAL tough chores. Make horseradish root into swarf!
Excellent with roast beef...
