AMAZING MANSON TINY LATHES

[@tom87pate]

I've often wondered what Charles Manson was making while he was in prison; now I know it was miniature lathes. 😂. Another interesting video Mr. Pete and I'd love to have one of these neat little lathes.

[@mrpete222]

Yes, he was a killer machinist

[@bcbloc02]

The other end of the spectrum from where i operate. It takes all kinds. 😎

[@mrpete222]

That entire machine could be put in one of your four jaw chucks

[@bcbloc02]

@@mrpete222 Heck it looks like it would fit on one jaw of my chuck! lol

[@kevinkoepke8311]

Until you first showed the Manson lathes, I had never seen one. Great job, Mr Pete! Thanks!

[@peteengard9966]

Much better looking than the Chinese micro lathes. Thank you Mr Pete.

[@Duckfarmer27]

Lyle - Another interesting video on these small lathes is appreciated. Enjoy your Easter and looking forward to next week's video.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks 👍

[@strongandco]

I can see how collecting those lathes could become very addictive and if you are a single man they'd make great living room ornaments or if you are a married man and used them as living room ornaments you'd soon _become_ single.

[@billmckillip1561]

These mini/micro lathe explorations seem to have restored your enthusiasm - very enjoyable!

[@DeuceReggs]

Thanks for all you do,it is much appreciated🤗😎🤗😎

[@daveharriman2756]

A fascinating series covering these amazing micro lathes, thanks for sharing

[@paulhunt598]

Fine show! Thank you. I recall John, but I haven't seen him since he retired.

[@dannyl2598]

Thanks Mr Pete. The old German made watch makers lathes use an 8 millimeter Collette and draw bar that looks like that one. Also, most of the sewing machine manufacturer outsourced the motors and controls so most any control would work with most any motor.

[@frankdoner8402]

Thanks, master Pete for this and all your videos. love them all love you. Obviously master pete was a mistake but it does have a nice ring to it.😮

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for that

[@kellyodom9596]

Thank you I loved it!

[@richardbrobeck2384]

great little lathes Dremel made a tiny lathe too.

[@erickvond6825]

If I'm not mistaken I believe that the faceplate on the Do-All had a stick out thread much like the collet.

[@geneard639]

Sadly the corrosion is most likely caused by simply sitting in a basement on a concrete slab. Having worked on 'The Flying Beer Can' (A7 Corsair II, which is close to being 90% aluminum) I know how vulnerable raw polished aluminum is around merely moist environments towards corroding. The way that line of corrosion is climbing? It was sitting for decades on just a concrete pad, most likely in an Illinois basement which... is humid to moist during Spring.

[@rustymachineshop9456]

Thanks for the work and time you put into these videos Mr Pete

[@mrpete222]

Glad you like them!

Mrpete this has been a very interesting video series 👍👍👍👍 Happy Easter

[@steveparker8723]

These are such neat little machines. Happy Easter MrPete. God bless.

Happy Easter

Very good

[@nottoday62]

Brian from Ma. great video. Enjoyed very much. Thank you.Besafe

[@TimKincaid-ki2uv]

Beautiful. YES

[@R2_D3]

My guess is that the small one uses a short MT0 (the back half of an MT0), just like my Flexispeed Meteor II.

[@edl5074]

Great video Mr pete enjoyed it!!there so tiny .

[@nomercadies]

Evening Lyle. I slept in.

[@mrpete222]

lol

[@danbreyfogle8486]

Very good presentative. While in collage I was often asked to "compare and contrast" a particular subject, always a great way to provide important information. I really appreciate all your research and presenting these lathes. Please offer my thanks to Lost Creek Machine for loaning this to you.

[@mrpete222]

Glad it was helpful!

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Who would have gussed there would be more than one brand of tiny lathe and more than one size in each brand. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.

[@markrusso3117]

Hi Mr Pete. Enjoy your videos. I especially like your teaching videos. Yorktown, New York 😊

[@mrpete222]

Thanks so much

[@Bill-b2m]

Interesting

[@OleGramps53]

It appears to be a very good miniature lathe just much smaller than I have. My 7x10 midi lathe is a monster to those lathes and I noticed that my cross slide does the same thing even after adjusting the gibs.

[@garychaiken808]

Great job. Thank you 😊

[@75blackviking]

Had no idea that there were lathes that small. You get the best stuff to demonstrate. Are there any decent micro lathes still being manufactured?

[@bobmazzi7435]

The second set of threads in the drawbar is usable for a stop.

[@be007]

i like this series mrpete. see you at the next video. cheers ben.

[@MikelNaUsaCom]

good information... would be fun for little plastic or wood items. Seen any good typewriters of the period?

You are sounding more like Joe Biden with each vlog.

If that is true, I would have to kill myself

Not true. Mr. Pete is a capital T man.
