Cool Videos ~ Building a Homemade Lathe

[ekb6760]

I'm posting this in this section as it seems the most appropriate place to me.
This is Part 1 of a 3 part video series of a guy constructing a wood lathe out of...wood. The finished product is amazing! Takes about 25 minutes to watch all 3. I hope you enjoy them.

That guy is pretty innovative. Thanks for sharing. It has been said that Herman Rambow used lathes made out of wood.
