Those drawn build plans were incredibly beautiful

[@oliverbode9257]

THANK YOU for being one of the only people on youtube using you're rasps/files the right way! :D btw nice video!

[@rorydonaldson2794]

This is one of my favorite vids yet, i love how informative and extensive it is, nice lathe

[@rowandunn2403]

You should get a dial indicator for your metal lathe for getting things to turn around perfectly

[@bizwig]

This is awesome. I've been excited for this video for a while, as I'm going to try to draw inspiration from your project and make my own lathe!

[@FaughABallagh2696]

Damn... you are one skilled chap... You're welding however leaves much to be desired. Keep practicing, watch the puddle, and when weaving like you were, hold at the top and bottom and spend less time over the middle. Although for a small joint like you were doing there, you really just need a stringer bead. Hope that helps. Thanks for the fascinating video!

[@misterdeedeedee]

i would say that if you want a super tight fit for the bearings then drill out the holes like .5-1mm too small and pop the bearings in the freezer overnight so they shrink and slide right into the holes and then expand when they warm up. same can be done for the rod to fit it into the bearings.

[@StageRightvideo]

Hello Artof, Nice to see your welding has come along well. This is such a good project to design and build. I know that you could probably get some sort of wood lathe from Ebay, but this way suits your talents much better. Keep up the good work (and your studies too!).

[@MLCustomKnives]

Great video! The lathe looks awesome!

[@Antipodean33]

I wonder what this brilliant lad will do for work when he finishes his studies? I doubt there's anything he couldn't accomplish

[@Sirusdark]

News Flash! *Nothing* prevents you from accomplishing ANYTHING you want. Just go out there and DO IT. :D

[@Antipodean33]

Sirusdark oh ok, i'll become an astrophysicist even though I haven't a serious maths degree or anything else required. I think that attitude about anybody being able to achieve anything is total BS, certain things require high intelligence or high physical fitness or any number of attributes that not all of us mere mortals have

[@arathduiliath9074]

As an astrophysicist graduate I have to say, it's not hard just tedious. Most physics can be done with just calculus and no one is preventing you from doing simple problems in free textbooks, that's how we nerds learn.

[@Antipodean33]

arath duiliath Some people have the want and attitude to do these things, but the vast majority don't. Just think, if everyone could be a scientist or professor type, shit would never get done. You need some people in society to build the buildings, roads etc etc that these more academic types design. Same reason why not all people are beautiful, we need us ugly fuckers so stuff gets done

[@arathduiliath9074]

I don't think you realize how many things are designed, created and applied by scientists and engineers, do not assume that academia and societal roles are mutually exclusive unless you want to give up your computer, data storage, modern cars, GPS, medicine and food.

[@nikolaporovic6750]

hi bro I remember okd coments people where saying thats good for a kid and than that ninja stars video camed out u maked sometheng they cant at age of 13 and now at age of 16 they are al learning from u p.s. respect.

[@NicksWhipShop]

Wow this is cool man!

[@alejandropadron2679]

what arc welder do you use for steel?

[@thomasrobinson4219]

How's the vice holding up

[@coachsubway460]

Cool Video bro

[@parthmandal2647]

@TAOW could you help me with the plans for the headstock?

[@heelf5277]

your welding wit 6013???

[@ThanasisThomas]

what is the name of ur drill press??

[@olimale4782]

Great video mate, I know it was a while ago but how did your GCSEs go?

[@luisermert]

haha! saw the belt grinder plans :D

[@tooljockey2777]

If you need a lathe to make a lathe, how was the first lathe made?? Lol nice video man great stuff

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Nice

[@SVVV97]

Bet it was fun filing those holes... xD but they turned out great ;)

[@BrosephRussell]

very cool

[@FSGAMER35]

No lathe gaurd??

[@JakeDancel]

FsgamingHD you don't really need one

[@BenasMotiejunas]

That easter egg @ 2:46. wp

[@emilionair]

can you teach us how to make a drill press

[@hassaization]

probably better just to buy one

[@vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv1]

True, making one yourself can possibly be more dangerous than buying it

[@luisermert]

can buying something be acually dangerous?

[@hassaization]

Forjam everything has a chance of failure, building your own drill press is far more likely to end with shards of metal in your face, but a commercial one failing explosively is not impossible

[@mybluebelly]

You have to give this guy credit for his creative abilities...bro.

[@camillesennegon]

awesome!

[@cool50500]

what is the music?

[@Antipodean33]

Angle grinder and arc welder, with an overture of metal lathe in B flat. Ah it's a wonderful symphony eh

[@emilborjesson578]

nice

[@nexlvl3578]

Can you make mini pistol

[@danielwilson5102]

Only if you want him to go to jail

[@cameronfloyd1975]

Daniel Wilson it's perfectly legal to make your own guns

[@danielwilson5102]

Not in the UK

[@cameronfloyd1975]

Daniel Wilson ahh true, I thought this guy was US

[@MrEvilemma]

Dog funny

[@escapegoat3472]

you should really cover any exposed skin when welding. arc sun burn is no fun.

[@TriCoFrg]

EscapeGoat I usually weld without gloves on ...

[@escapegoat3472]

But why? You'll mess your hands up from sunburn and hotspots. Seems like a ridiculous thing to do.

[@sacriptex5870]

The rod on the the headstock is too big thats bad because how much bigger more lateral force in the bearings actually the best scenario would cut a hole and a thread just on the front bearing

[@freundlicherfalmer8375]

2:46 homeworks on your hand?

[@c3diy]

how to make a wood lathe! (80 to 500euros) step1: take a big ass screw and round it with a metal lathe! (500 to 3000 euros)

[@shantaymadison3808]

Try the best carpenters and woodworkers plans. Woodprix.

[@puryeareaker7975]

Love your project. I made similar with woodprix instructions.

[@parthmandal2647]

could you help me with the plans of the lathe's head stock..?
