Welcome to TWW Enterprises: You need to be Superman to change a Reeves drive on a lathe

The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

You need to be Superman to change a Reeves drive on a lathe

This is how a Reeves drive works. A lathe with this drive is cheaper to make so can be sold to people like TWW who are cheap. The problem is you need to be Superman to get the lathe apart and back together again when they get dirty and stop working right.
