Great job Jon. I have just purchased one of those lathes to help me build the victory and was pondering how to extend the bed, you have just saved me having to work it out. 🍻

You could probably find that exact extrusion profile on the web from a metal supplier.i really like your tool rest adaptation. Good Stuff Boss.

Brilliant John just what I needed to know as I am looking to purchase a lathe for my first wooden ship kit and was concerned as you stated about the Masts and Yards lengths.
Top vid and easy explained 👍🤺⚓

Thanks for your video. I am waiting for this little machine and see your improvement. The first thing i change is the small tool rest. I will make a larger one but complete in metal.

Thanks you the video. I'm actually looking into a lathe to make edc beads and this is a great inexpensive solution

[pedroelcubano]

That's a nice job you did there with the lathe

[Salihabeeb]

This is What I am talking about, good job man 👍 good job

Did you consider using a piece of the same aluminium channel just longer length ?

[anthonyhogg]

Could you please recommend a ring mandrel for this particular Lathe

[janmeetei]

Sir, can you teach how to replace the chuck? I bought the same to carve resin eggs but the height is too low to fit. Would appreciate your wisdom.

[Tom_Samad]

Would it be possible to turn wooden pens with this tiny lathe?

[tobsmonster]

Awesome video mate. Just about to buy one of these and this was very helpful 👍

[jordym.]

Please forgive my ignorance. I can't figure out what your measurements are when you refer to them as "mil, or mill". Can't be millimeters. Can you please clarify for us non metric system users? Thank you very much.

Hey so I purchased the same lathe, is it possible to make it be able to drill a hole straight? Thank you!

[zacharyp]

So is there a specific reason as to why you used a separate wooden board as opposed to buying a bar of extruded aluminum t-slot that was the length you wanted?
