Great job and just wondering about your lathe? I'm interested in getting one but not sure where to start and also safety around them...would love to see you do a video on Lathes for beginners and safety etc.:)
We'll I can't promise anything but maybe one day I would be able to do a video. As for my lathe made this one in about 1996, my brother machined the headstock spindle and drive spurs, and I made and assembled the rest except the tailstock which I modified which came off an old destroyed metal lathe at a scrap yard. As for a first lathe I would suggest something about 3ft between centres and 6-8 " swing and set it up so centre height is about your elbow height. As for safety, goggles / or shield, some timbers are toxic and can irritate your airways, so a mask is handy at times, it's probably good to get to know some local wood workers/ Turner's in your area to learn about turning and wood types etc. I hope this is a help thankyou for watching kind regards Arthur.
