I make this pine bowl. The lathe produces a lot of vibration with this piece, i think this is the limit to make something safe in this lathe.
Comments: - - - That tool looks like a spindle roughing gouge and should never be used on bowls, emd grain can snap that tool easily... due to the metal made from flat bar not solid round steel like bowl gouges!
I was looking at buying one of these lathes and to be honest having seen your video its really put me off! It appears really under powered, it wobbles about a lot and the motor sounds like its got a loose bag of bolts in it! Nicely made pot though!
You have amortized the lathe but it makes at least 4 videos, hahaha. You need to make a wooden mace and you have a set of mortar and mace that you freak out, there I leave you the idea for the next video.
That looks very good, would you say that it is worth buying one for light work and how can I get hold of one . I live in Almeria Spain ????????.
The day you catch a lathe in good condition, you freak it out is with that one and you make virgerias, I want to start making a homemade one with what I have for the workshop, this week I will put video but I am going to focus on making the lathe and rest a few times of making videos, a greeting mate
