What materials to use to build a wood lathe?

how to biuld a basic wood lathe
Build one? Go to http://www.grizzly.com and order one. It would be much easier, smaller number costly, and safer.
If you research some of "The Old Yankee Workshop" shows they own a show using a foot/and whip type wood lathe that is massively basic. All you need is a solid support at respectively end of the workpiece and a way to variety it spin. Then you add a tool support so you can control it. This is the very undeveloped wood lathe. Source(s): Done watched the show.
"> Cheaper, easier, simpler and more accurate to go out and buy one. You can find second foot units that would be much better than a backyard bailing wire mixture 10x's over. And safer too. Garage sales, farmer auctions, machinery auctions
