Im new here and found the while looking for a wood lathe build online. I live in Costa Rica, am retired and woodworking in the 7th grade in Chickasha, Okla. with a hand tool shop class. Still like to woodwork, I mostly use hand tools, but want to build a lathe.

Hi jimmyncr - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

I've been to a few parts of Costa Rica, including the Nicoya Peninsula, Tortuguero, and Rincon de la Vieja. Beautiful country and friendly people.

Are there any specific online lathe builds that you like?
