Building a homemade lathe, from start to finish, from only the items already found in my shop. i honestly thought it was going to be a bit more difficult, i knew i had a few things lying around to build a lathe with but i was not 100% sure i would be able to do it strictly with the items i could find already in the shop. i did not have any idea what the finished lathe would look like because it was an improvised design based on whatever i could get a hold of. no one is more surprised than i am that such a lathe would not only be possible but would work so nicely!
this video is compiled from "homemade lathe" parts 1-4 but i edited out all of the intros and sign offs to shorten it. are you planning on building a lathe? I have built a few but they were quite technical. i thought it would be interesting to build a lathe ONLY from the parts that are already in my shop. i should have tried this sooner as i had no idea how much stuff i had laying around, nor that i actually had enough to do the job!
this lathe was born from the need to turn a few tool handles, except that i didn't have a lathe small enough to do it. obviously the little lathe is for woodturning and wood turning only. i would not attempt to turn anything other than wood on this little lathe. and actually the lathe is really only intended to do spindle turning.

this is a quick little slide show of my 2nd homemade lathe (the first on was clearly inferior so i dismantled it after 1 week of use). the plan was developed by Carlyle Lynch and published by Fine Wood Working magazine. This lathe is quite simple to build and a pleasure to use. the slideshow documents the 25 years between building and selling this "little" homemade lathe (that makes me feel old). YES i built it when i was 16 years old...it doesn't seem like it was that long ago. in fact i had to buy my first saw, and drill to actually build this homemade lathe.
the lathe ended up being 8' long because i was limited by my tiny 4'x'11' entry way workshop (i needed to leave 3 open so we could get in and out of the house), the plan actually calls for a 10' long bed. i altered the lathe a little bit from the original plan, the biggest change was adding a stretcher at the bottom of the legs. final capacity was 68" between center and 19" of swing.
i was just a 16yo kid with out any guidance, help, or training. so if i could build this little gem of a lathe...SO CAN YOU! the large turning you see in the slideshow was a 400lb glued up blank of western red cedar i out together to push the limit of this little lathe (yes I'm just kidding when i say little lathe).
