Plans on How to make your own wood lathe cheap from scratch.

[TWheeler46]

Hello
My name is Tommy and I was wondering if there is anyone who can help me with some home wood lathe plans, parts list and step by step if possible?

Tommy,

Shop Notes issue #73 has plans and instructions for building a small lathe from readily available timber and hardware.

I have just finished making one and it works well. If you google "shopnotes lathe" you will find various posts and pictures.

Woodsmith ShopNotes Woodworking Magazine 2004 Vol. 13 Issue 73 Mini Lathe back copies of magazine available for $3

Its not a difficult thing to build.
