DIY Woodturning Lathe Part 3 - Live Centre. Bricolaje torno. Brico tour à bois.

Great idea! and may I say, that music you had in the background was both quite pleasant to listen to, and exactly the right volume.

Great idea using the bike spindle, good job 👍

Thanks, I've been thinking about using this for a foot-powered lathe and thought it might be a good test for checking the robustness of the bearings, (lateral force acting on the spindle and bearings considerably higher than the assembly would usually encounter). We''ll see how it performs. Best wishes, Andy.

why is a live center better than a dead or static one? just less friction on the part end you are working on?

I checked a lot of handbooks with woodworking plans. Instructions from stodoys are the best I think.
