[@brucematthews6417]

A great accessory model to go with one of your engines. And dare I suggest that while perhaps not hard metal worthy that it would function with smaller alloy parts or plastics?

[@AdeSwash]

Thanks Bruce, it 'may' work on plastics, but it was never my intention to actually do work. Thank you!

Hi Ade i just dropped on to you from a Nobby's Workshop Update, so i came over to to take a look and sub'd & bell'd you for future video's👍👍 That little model lathe video took my eye and is a cracking little model well done with that👍👍, I'm just in the process of scratch building a fully functioning micro lathe from some vintage castings i came across, its has no drawings so just coming out of my head as i go, a bit like your thought processes that iv'e seen so far. Now contact made i will take a look at your other video's and keep in touch, just up my street so to speak👍👍👍👍 Anyway, catch you another time regards Kev

[@paradiselost9946]

i know it wasnt really intended to be practical, but there is a morse taper #0 that would have been ideal at this size for the spindle and tailstock... at which point, a sashweight might have been a better choice of material. an oft overlooked thing with compressed air? if you heat it up first, you get a lot more grunt out of it.

[@machinist_matt]

That's fantastic buddy! 👍

[@AdeSwash]

Thanks Matt !

[@roderos]

What an amazing piece! I was surprised to learn you designed and made it from scratch. I have been looking at the miniature lathe kits of PM research or Stuart. This one is prettier than most I have seen, the aluminium and brass all together look great! Did you try cutting something soft like brass or a machining plastic? Some video’s show these miniatures can do some cutting!

[@AdeSwash]

Hi Roderos, I haven't tried cutting any material, I designed it as a non functioning model, so the tolerances were forgiving, and not designed for actual work. Kind Regards. Ade

[@kimber1958]

I LOVE THE CRANKSHAFT IDEA. GIVEN SOME VERY LITE CUTS I THINK YOU COULD TURN SOME STOCK.

We havnt actually seen you do any lathe work,so I don’t believe it’s only you alone that does any of the work seen in ALL of your videos,you just seem to put things together.

I do all the lathe work, the milling, the hand finishing, the video shooting, editing and voice over, how about you?
