Battery Powered Portable Cue-Lathe

[Blind_Squirrel]

Being equally inventive as yourself, you've given me an idea for a very practical product that will have wide appeal to viewers of the product and wearers of the product:

A T-shirt printing company that offers extra-long T-shirts upon which is printed an enumerated list of everything in life that the wearer hates.

This will save the wearer so much typing/venting time and joining of their unimaginably huuge amount of forums and clubs where the haters presently rejoice in announcing what they hate to limited eyeballs (and ears). Now everyone in life who sees you gets your message.

Then the individual haters -- newly -- inspired -- take the next obvious step of having a skilled tatoo-ist readably inscribe the long list up and down the front and backs of their torso and on the entire length of their legs. This will be so nice for them in warm weather when they prefer minimal clothing.

Hater's do what that do best!

Just to show you the Portable Battery Powered Lathe isn't the 1st version...

The photos show my original lathe, completely enclosed in a wooden box.
What is interesting is my DRIVE system.
I used a round BB gun ammo can lid to change the gear ratio to spin the cue really FAST.

Of course the rubber bands would heat up & break if you put much force on a tip (like cutting it down & shaping).
One day I thought, I wonder if I can make it look nice by putting it in a case.
So I took a chance an ordered a double shotgun case.
Took a while to design because I modeled it in AutoCAD (Which I'm an expert in. See dansmark.com), then started manufacturing the V2.0 case.

I thought V2.0 turned out rather nice.

Oh yeah,
Those are RC Airplane wheels near the tip to keep the cue spinning straight.

I used a bigger motor in V2.0 and now use 2 cell Lipo batteries.
