Homemade Lathe Pt. 1 The headstock and base

This is the first video in a series of building a homemade wood lathe out of recycled materials. This video covers the building process of the headstock and the base. The motor is reused from an ancient metal lathe that didn t work, and the bearings are salvaged from a broken air compressor. The only things that I needed to purchase so far was a new vbelt, and a large bolt with some nuts, costing around 1520 dollars. Music: Tech Talk Kevin MacLeod Licensed under Creative Commons: By
