I built a bench-top lathe over the past week. Well, mostly yesterday and this morning.

Nothing too fancy. A couple pieces of tubafor, a couple clamps, some paracord. Lathes are pretty simple machines, turns out.

I put up a video of it running if you’re super-curious.

I’ll probably post more after I’ve actually turned something, but my gouge and skew don’t get here until tomorrow.
