I challenged myself to build a working model of a Marine Lathe at 1/65th scale. A full size marine lathe is primarily used to straighten, repair or build a propeller shaft for a ship. For a time I worked professionally in a shop with a marine lathe. Building a functioning model at 1/65th scale was one of my most challenging project. I'm pleased that it actually cuts metal in the same way as the full-size version.
