Gingery Lathe

[ncollar]

I found an old spreadsheet that I was keeping track of the cost of the Gingery lathe on. It looks like I got to about $150 before I stopped tracking it (that included some tools like a lathe file, scrappers and a countersink). I would guess I put another $50 to $100 into the lathe after that.

Thanks for the reply. You have around $300 into the lathe that you made. The part of your investment seems to be the tooling to make the machine, but that is the start of your tool box. You can not go out and buy a lathe for less than $500, so you are ahead of the game. Looking good, now it's time to make something. Thanks for sharing.
