I haven't purchased a mini-lathe yet but am very interested. I have build a number of tools; one I am most proud of and use often is a CNC machine. I bought the plans from solsylva.com several years ago. Today I will machine a scarab beetle in plaster of paris and intend to cast lead therein.
From what I have seen so far, homemadetools.com has tons of ideas.
