Woodturning Lathe Build Process

Return to main project page

This section of pages were written during the process of designing and building the wood lathe. During the build I posted what you'll see on the following pages on a number of forums and I thought it might be interesting to some to read the full process (which includes many work-in-progress images).

Use the page navigation at the bottom of each page to navigate these posts.

I am a hobbyist metalworker and woodworker. I work as an electronic design engineer and spend most of my working days in front of a computer so I enjoy having the opportunity to use my hands and make things in my spare time. I particularly enjoy making tools as I can then use them on other projects. This website showcases some of the things I've made.
