Best way to store a LATHE?

I've wanted to add a lathe to my shop for YEARS, but I kept thinking there's no way I have space for one. When I started designing my new miter station I realized there was a perfect spot for a mini lathe inside. This flip-top design is a relatively simple build, however, it took quite a bit of trial and error to get a working version.

Hey there. I'm sure that you're going to get a lot more of these as more people watch this: but some tips for woodturning. The highest speeds are for turning pieces that are either small or well balanced. Heavy material removal is for lower to medium speeds as it avoids overheating the motor. Sanding makes for clouds of dust that you don't want to breath in. Have a respirator on hand. And sanding on lower speeds keeps the sandpaper cool enough to handle. When you are working with unprocessed logs you attach it according to the center of _gravity_ over everything else so the workpiece doesn't shake free. For safety reasons: you want to have your tool rest low enough so that the handle of your tool is pointing down to the floor. A sharp tool is a safe tool. There are two kinds of face shields out there and one is made for chemical splashes; that kind is too flimsy to protect your face from any kind of flying wood. Get a good face shield. Your face will thank you for this protection against your risky decisions.

@glencrandall7051 Жыл бұрын
I must disagree. You have it backwards. Your turning tools work best at the higher speeds. This is especially noticeable when the workpiece has flat areas. You slow the lathe down for sanding. This prevents the sandpaper from clogging up so much. It also keeps the paper cooler. Dust collection will not help much when turning. However it will help tremendously when sanding. Wear a dust mask. Sanding lathe workpieces produces clouds of dust.🙂🙂

I know a very precise way to make dadoes with just a single blade. I'm from Europe, and dado stacks are illegal in Europe because they are too dangerous (I kinda agree). If you set the distance for the dado, place a block at the other side of the fence, then slide the fence out of the way and put a piece of your stock that will go into the dado between your stop block and your fence. Then after you made the first cut, take a 1/8" drill bit and place it between the fence and your stop, this makes a perfect fit, with enough room for some glue if needed. This works for a half-lap joint as well.

Woodturning is woodworking speedrun. Very satisfying for people without patience. Like myself. Once round you can run it faster for better cutting and surface finish.

Michael, this is one of best space saving ideas I've seen for a small shop. I had not seen this idea before although I now see that Izzy Swan did something very similar a number of years ago. I know I'll have to customize my build to match my lathe and workbench but I bought your plans just to say thanks for the idea and putting together a great video on the build.
@leighmosher2182 Жыл бұрын
That is such a cool design! 👍 On my small lathe like that, I removed the knobs from the belt cover doors, remounted them like cabinet pulls (small screw from the back) and glued a magnet to each top corner. Much quicker to remove than unscrewing it each time and the belts remain covered, keeping the safety patrol happy 👮♂️

lathe work. you want to practice, practice, practice. If you can get decent on cheap 2X4s you can then turn most other woods (Pine has a tendency to tear out). a Skew chisel is the most versatile tool you can use, it just take time to figure it out. Alan Lacer has a great set of videos that talk about it, can't recommend them enough.

Hey boss I really enjoyed your your video on the hidden lathe I think that makes a lot of sense when I see these guys hide their miter boxes it makes no sense to me and miter box station should be one of your main stations that should not be heading but I really like you design and everything else but just a word take-it-or-leave-it fwiw. Lathe chisels are harder to sharpen than other chisels in fact I have mine professionally done . Might want to knock those shirt Corners off of square things before you decide to put it on your lathe I've been using a lathe since I was about 12 years old and I'm 52 now I inherited my lathe form my grandfather and can go up to I think 42 in. I'd like to get a smaller lethe like yours but just haven't wanted to put out the money so far there's other tools I wanted first but good video good job

My father had a lathe in his shop for years I did a couple of projects for art class on it, made a salad set for my grandmother, turned a set of pegs for a cribbage table I built in high school. They do make a mess, but dad put the mess to use when doing his turning. He used the shavings to burnish some projects for finishing and after finishing. He also put a frame around the area he stood and filled it up with the chips and sawdust to make a mat to stand on while turning. He said it was more comfortable to stand on than any antifatigue map that he had tried. I even had a couple of pieces of waffled rubber used on a velodrome track and he said that the sawdust mat was even more comfortable than that for long periods of standing while turning. Nice mallet for a first time! Looking forward to seeing what happens with the pattern plywood turnings.

I also bought and used an Excelsior lathe from Rockler and used mostly small carbide tools. I used it for all kinds of things: wheels for toys, pen kits (gun-shaped pens sell well), "magic" wands, you name it. It is addictive and very Zen. It broke my heart to leave it behind when we moved into our motorhome, but we just haven't the space or weight capacity for it. I never bothered to change the default speed setting, and never had a problem. I suggest using the gouge to rough out and not the flat blade, as the flat blade can catch pretty easily. Next purchase ought to be a lathe chuck. Envious!

New subscriber. Retired after 35 years in Construction Administration, and setting up my garage shop. I like the flip top lathe but in my case, my first though is to put a benchtop jointer. In my shop layout plan the miter saw deck would be the part of the outfeed. Any thoughts? Anyone? Love the channel, will be looking at your older videos shortly. I worked my way through college, mostly night school as a pipefitter and pipe welder, while starting a family. i have allways been a maker of sorts for extra cash. Welding, Restoring muscle cars, even making several pieces of furniture over the years, but never truly had a complete and well planned shop. I don't plan on it becoming a business as that would take away the fun of being retired. But, if someone wants to pay me for a piece, I won't turn it down.
