I made my first lathe back in 1974. I had two horizontal drill stands clamped to a cement stair panel, One held an old black and Decker drill and the other held an old chuck, which was my dead center. I used a brass fitting which I shaped to be the live center bit. I used a lump of timber too act as my chisel support and the chisels were all made form old metal files. I would turn nose cones from balsa wood for my model rockets. Later my father got hold of an old Knitting machine base and I used that for the base of the lathe and mounted the horizontal drill stands on to the frame and one on the carriage which was my dead center. Fun times.

私のＤＩＹ範囲なら十分事足りる。道具は使いようでいろいろ応用できるんだという事も大変参考になりました。行動派の貴殿にエール！！

I liked it. It's the real deal. Application of excess glu, dropping stuff and the best was the wood piece jumping out. All natural and original. Some of the other videos I watch are so perfect and sometimes too perfect. Good job

It makes me so glad I was taught at boarding school in 1966 age 11 how to use woodwork machines and metalwork too. I gather kids today don't get practical lessons like that these days.

.An effective practical low cost idea. Thanks for sharing.Your work jumped out dangerously because you did not drill a countersink hole with a centre drill so that the tailstock centre can go in further to lock your wood. Remember to oil the tailstock centre where it contacts the wood. It does help. Periodically readjust your tailstock as the vibrations can loosen the the contact at the tailstock. Your tool resr should be adjustable to be as close to the wood as practical to reduce vibrations

Muy buena idea, te felicito !!! Y muy buen video, sin música, sin palabras y fluido. A la acción !

This is one of my favorites, but i see room for improvements. This is the first that I will try. Some of the vids are more complicated and expensive than just going out and buying the tool.

Good Job. Thanks for sharing.

DIYには丁度良さそう！やってみよ！

Buen trabajo amigo,he aprendido mucho con Ud. Gracias desde Cordoba(España). Saludos

....Thank You for posting this....

move your tool rest so that it just clears the job a lot less chance of it flying out and gives more control

parabéns sem disfarces mostrando erros ocasionais e imprevistos👏👏👏👏👏

comecei a assistir seus vídeos hoje, impressionante como você tem idéias ótimas, hoje vai ser o dia todo só para assistir seus vídeos kkkkkkkk 10000000000 likes

Definitely trying this

指輪の研磨に使っていた機械、手作りだったんですか。すごい！

Sy suka dgn cara2 simpel kaya gini buat pelajaran baru good good deh

You is off the Best my friend.

よくやった！

Very nice👌a little reinforcement of the chuck jaw and it will have more gripping power to hold. 😊

Super practico, facil de elaborar, lo estare fabricando para mejorar mi taller de bricolaje, gracias por subir el video.

Muito bom o torno caseira

Well done. I'm sure you have improvements in mind, but it is a starting point for turning small wood parts.

Nice one! Very easy to build and no special parts needed. Thank you!

exelente video abrazo desde ARGENTINA

In live it's this same. It's very good.

simples,barato,prático e satisfatório,parabéns mestre

Que gambiarra! A ideia foi boa, mas a execução precisa melhorar, assim vai vir toco na cabeça toda hora.

I like it. Came to a little bump in the road, fixed it, moved on.

I don't believe I'll ever need a file handle so badly as to go thru all of this, but it was certainly entertaining! Nothing dissuaded him...he just kept right on truckin like a man on a mission with nothing but the most basic of tools. Gotta love it! Bravo!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Parabéns...esse seu torno caseiro foi o melhor e mais fácil de fazer que vi até agora. Show !!

For the most part the wooden feed stock was a couple of down the length ripped 2 by 4s. Pretty clever use of materials, I'd say.

I'm no expert at wood turning but just thought you might have took corner's off the wood before you started and seems like the tool rest was a bit far from the work and tailstock didn't seem very strong nice idea though

Excellent work !!! Just be carefull the wood doesn't get wet and twist !!! Good idea to cover the wood with 3 coats of paint or varnish to protect it from liquids !!

Gracias, Mercy, Thanks!

Muito bem ! Sr da terra do sol nascente.

I'd have to agree with those below. The end opposite the drill needs to have at the least a triangular brace. The wood brace holding your pivot bends out away from the piece when you are tightening your pivot rod. This will add excess wabble since your center end is not securely fixed. It will also put excess stress on your screws securing this upright and cause it to lose integrity.

buena idea señor,hice una igual solo que la arme sobre una mesa para dar mas estabilidad al torno. GRACIAS.

Good job with those tools!

飾り足も削る事が出来ますね。 ´　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　´

Gostei meu amigo. parabéns

👍

Brilliant, very simple. I will try to one the same, thanks!!

Muito boas suas ideias , vou fazer um. Obrigado.

Muy buen aporte! Saludos!

Congratulation. good my friends

very simple and nice to operate.

Good gig, will really good to have an idea the dimensions of pieces!

Saya akan coba buat seperti itu lumayan menambah pengetahuan buat semua orang,,,

Thanks for the upload. I’m going to make one, but I won’t be using a drill as a power source. I’m going to use a bench grinder motor.👍👍👍

Genius! With simplex tools you made a perfect lathe.

I think this is great, sure there are some slight bugs to work out, but that's how we got to CNC in the first place, I think?

I have to try this! 😊👍👌

Great effort. My greetings

I like it. Very good.

I am so glad I watched this vid cuz I learned all the things what NOT to do although the idea is pretty good it needs refining for sure.

i don't know much about lathe safety, but the project looked thought thru and done well. Also, the video flowed very well. Good job.

Muito bom!

How smart! I love it.

Simple, I am making this one

Agradeço peso seu vídeo! Apenas uma observação: O apoio do formão está muito afastado da peça que está sendo torneada, isso dificulta o trabalho!

ótimo muinto bom brother.

Others have mentioned the fact that the tool rest is too far from the work. Another thing: if you must touch the spinning stock (feeling for smoothness, sanding, oiling...) always do it in back, never on top or in front. Imagine your fingers getting caught and jammed in the tool rest. (Which is virtually guaranteed with that big gap.) Always be aware that a lathe is one of the worst tools in the shop for grabbing hold of body parts and destroying them. Always come at it with preventing that as Step 1.

*очень простая конструкция, то что нужно! спасибо!*

MUITO BOM GOSTEI

Excelente muy facil y buena idea muchss gracias.pero yo le dare mas altura

Crude bet, effective. Pretty Good Idea.

Как говорится, если руки золотые , то не важно от куда они растут))

Nice

Muito bom mesmo

Molto interessante complimenti

Super Coole Idee..

I love it man, i want to try making one...

In this budget.. 💰💵💴💶 $ it is great. 👍👍👍👍

you are te best!

good lathe for small jobs,you need to reinforce the centre pivots and supports to avoid vibrations and the rest tool should be much close to the spinning piece (say 5 millimeters)for better control of chisel cheers..........

emege saygı. yaptıgın iş çok güzel ama tetbirler alman ve dikkat etmen gerekir

well thought out.

Now you can make chess pieces.

Bravo!!! Anche senza grande attrezzatura, sei riuscito realizzare qualcosa di veramente pratico, alla portata di tutte le persone come me che praticano quest'hobby per passione. Complimenti!

Great thanks for sharing a brilliant idea merci l' ami :) :) :)

天狗さんの動画は、私に勇気を与えてくれます　＾＾ 他の方の動画は、すばらしいんですけど、「こんなのできるかい！」「真似できないorz」ってよく思うんですけど、天狗さんのは、「まずは作ってみよう！」って気になります。 ありがとうございます。 材が飛んだところがスローモーションなのが、すごい好きです。 音楽も解説もないのも好きです。 I love your sweet video.

Very good, but trying to trim a square shape was a BIG mistake. You should use a bench saw to remove the corners until it looks like an octagon. Then it should cut OK

Aí e top bão demais da conta 👏👏👏👍

Fantastic 🤘

Hey just a tip. Try moving the right side in a little bit as you go it will wear down on that side

thanks for video

押し台の締め付けが弱くて物が顔に飛ぶかもね。。

Good Idea but needs major modifications, seem very unsafe. A quick way to hurt your self very fast.

You should put bearing on the other side too

muito bom

Углы рубанкомипредварительно нужно проходить, а под центр задней бабки засверливаться. Нас так в школе учили ...

muy buen tuto

impressive....thumbs up

Good very creative. 👍

案ずるより産むが易し、ですね。勉強になりました。

Блин, отошел от монитора.. Школота))) Задняя бабка- это просто атас. Хоть бы упоры к ней сделал, шатается же.

C'est plein d'astuces, c'est intelligent, ça me plait ! 👍

Maybe it would be easier to buy a handgrip at the shop
