Welcome to the forums MisterSchmoo52: If your lathe is this one, then a picture of the treadle would be awesome. FWIW i for one would love to see the pedal style Barnes.

I share your enthusiasm for treadle lathes, I asked one of my tutors about them and he said you would be quite conservative with your cuts as if you cut too deep, your treadling suddenly became very difficult.
Sounds like a good way to work out.
The reason i was hoping for a pic was because i do not see how the flat belt would not rub somewhere.
In the above Lathes/UK pic it looks like the cone pulley flat belt would have to pass between the ways.
I can't see that happening.

I really like the look of that Ehrlich that is above. I still do not see how that flat belt would work.
