When you want to pursue wood turning, but have neither the space nor the money for a full-blown lathe. Very well done! 👏🏻

[@rollingstone3017]

Guess I'll put off that trip to my local Woodcraft store.

[@Vid_Master]

if you make this, one thing to be careful of: Clamp it down SECURELY to a table. If something gets caught, it can cause the drill / workpiece to jump really hard (im telling you this from experience LOL!!)

Wauw!! ..... I'm speechless! .... This is THE most impressive DIY lathe I've ever seen! And with inspiration to make endless jigs to make almost all shapes easier and safer to make. I'm really amazed by this! Thank you SO SO much! ❤ /Pia from Denmark PS: Now more than ever I want to try to "turn wood" for the first time ever, with my own DIY lathe, and with help from a local experienced wood turner. I'm 60 years old, living alone, and want to reduce the risk of making moves that will go wrong - but I also love to learn new skills. And with a limited budget, it seems to be a good idea to buy a few quality cutters and make a sturdy DIY lathe, instead of buying an expensive "plug and turn" lathe and cheap cutters. ❤

An underpowered lathe is probably better when you are learning, because the inevitable mistakes will not be able to fling heavy objects at your face as hard.

[@pirakoXX]

Thank you @@davidhawley1132 I didn't think of that, but it sounds right! 👍 And besides watching some "don't do" videos about using a lathe, just as I did before using my table saw, router and skill saw, I'll ask someone with experience to stand next to me and guide me. And point out what I did right as well as wrong, and why! And I'll rather spend an hour with such a person than hours at the hospital, even it's free here in Denmark. ❤ My best wishes /Pia

@@pirakoXX Hvis det kommer til stykket og du ikke har behov for så stor en drejebænk, så har Proxxon nogle små, hobby drejebænke til mindre dele. Jeg har selv den her. DIY værktøj kan være godt, men som med alt andet, skulle uheldet være ude og man får en skade som de danske sygehuse ikke dækker, så tvivler jeg også på at forsikringen dækker når det er DIY værktøj, frem for værktøj af en reel producent. Det ville være ærgerligt at skulle af med flere tusind, når Proxxon har en mini drejebænk til 1500,-. Bare lige en heads-up fra en tidligere møbelsnedkerlærling :) Dorch & Danola har ret meget værktøj til træ. Her er et link til Proxxons lille drejebænk: www.dorchdanola.dk/rol-27020.html

Oh my god. Damn! I'm sat here mouth open in awe at how you've taken woodworking (yet again!!!) to a whole new level. I'm about to move into a bungalow which was owned by my late inlaws, he was a retired engineer and had a full size lathe (which he built!) and a drill press (which he built!) and loads of other gear. Unfortunately when he died everything went to charity which is something I was upset about but it was his will. There's no way I can afford to buy a lathe or have the space for one but this is perfect. Thank you so much for showing this.

2:55 The threaded inserts should ideally be on the backside of the wood, so as you tighten the bolts down, the tension will pull them *into* the wood instead of theoretically pulling them out of the wood.

[@rlopezosorio1975]

Hello. Could you explain it a little more? I don't know about wood work. Thank you.

[@seanlambie3425]

@@rlopezosorio1975 With that configuration, any pulling force is carried by the threads of the inserts. Drilling through and bolting to the other side of the plank, will transfer the pulling force to the board rather than the threads of the inserts. Its far less likely to fail over time. On a note if you're going to attempt this project: Do check the torque ratings and axial forces of the drill, before using any household drill! A drill is designed to handle the force through the rotation axis, they're often not great against axial forces.

[@rlopezosorio1975]

Hello. I had to look up the definitions you mentioned to understand the explanation. The truth is I don't know anything about that and I want to learn. I appreciate your response and time. Thank you.@@seanlambie3425

[@jimthesoundman8641]

@@seanlambie3425 I think you mean *transverse* load, not axial load. Axial load is what the drill was designed for. And you are correct, these types of items aren't really good at transverse loading, but these items are so small, that there isn't really that much pressure, and most of that is negated by the bearing.

[@seanlambie3425]

@@jimthesoundman8641 Whoeps indeed, thank you for the correction! Again, for any applications on that jig, I doubt its going to be a major compromise for most drills. But exposing the drill to those forces It will certainly shorten the lifespan. But I can already picture some individuals with a battery powered 7V IKEA drill attempting to turn it into a lathe. 🤣

[@jarnoverhoeven3118]

Very nifty and elegant, do note that corded and cordless drills have a very limited lifetime, rated for about 25mins or so use over lifetime (because the intended use is only a few seconds per screw/hole etc.). But if you can find a loose motor, like from a sewing machine those are rated for longer continuous use.

[@user-lk9qc5jq9o]

Отлично!

[@interiot2]

I think the relevant search term here is "duty cycle" -- how long you can use a product uninterrupted before you have to stop using it for a bit. Often this is due to internal heat buildup, but can be due to other things too. Corded drills are pretty cheap, If you want to spend a little money, there are some really heavy-duty drills, like a masonry drill. Or just take a break every 20 minutes or so.

[@jarnoverhoeven3118]

@@interiot2 duty cycle is also important indeed, but given the intended use, duty cycle is very low, something like 30seconds to a minute. Total lifetime is really about 25min. Obviously, a lot of drills live longer, but as a manufacturer, you want to make sure it at least that, before seeing failures, because else you'll have complaining customers.

[@ismann9148]

@@jarnoverhoeven3118 While this is a bad use case for a drill, they last way more than 25 minutes. Don't know where you got that figure from.

@@ismann9148 from being involved in the development of electric hand tools, an orbital sander in fact, those do have a longer design life span.

Nothing more as to agree to all the praise said. My father loved this kind of lathe work in his twenties and we still have a few pieces he produced. Having little money in the 1960ies, he build a lathe piece by piece from metall rubble with the help of an elder Metal turner and engineer he befriended and who turned out to be very kind. Even so a table circular saw, and we were able to do some nice contributions to a few greater projects of our community. Unfortunately he passed away 1978 in the age of 45 (and my mum unfortunately never coped with his values of work and threw away these tools - hopefully just in an act of mourning) - otherwise he would have pioneered some of this channels as well, at least he would have admired this simplifiers, pioneers and inventors the way I do and tried to pick their information.
