    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.

    If you'd like to share any of your own homemade tools, we'd love to see them! Please post them in the Homemade Tools subforum. We'll add each one to the database, as well as to your builder page on the site.

    Non-tool items should be shared in the Not a Tool, but Homemade subforum.
