I have started building a yeomans type lathe. I've called it a DEL-YO 1000mm. It's based on designs by Pat Delaney and the first world war lathe inventor Yeoman. It's frame is cast concrete with the Accurate part made out of steel and carefully aligned. I've blogged my progress so far at concretelathe.blogspot.com Concrete homemade Lathe and Machine Tools Project
Hi Arti,
Welcome! :welcome:
Very, very cool. :cool: I've never previously run across this sort of concrete lathe construction. Definitely keep us posted on your progress.
What's the first thing you're going to turn on it when it's finished?

Well actually ken, this lathe is part of my efforts to rebuild my business after a stupid business deal I made which caused me to lose everything I owned to a Crook! I gave some background on my blog at Concrete homemade Lathe and Machine Tools Project
