Turn a CUBE on a LATHE?!

Everyone says turning a cube on the lathe is hard, but it couldn't be easier! Granted, it's an aluminum cube, but still: No sweat! Okay maybe a little sweat.

Well played sir. I was dreading the usual April 1st videos but this was quite enjoyable.

Mark Dennehy

You absolute *git*. You owe us a minilathe video for that!

Barry

Whoa, that's impressive. Setup looks pretty easy though. Happy April 1st!

Thomas Eriksen

Compensation for this would be a turners cube in the next video, I guess with that size you could get 5 or 6 cubes in cubes. Did you turn it once and copy paste, or was each revolution done by hand?

Alan Lipscomb

You need to sharpen your bit. It looks dull.

He never said "Thanks for watching"! :o(

I know you said copy and paste but I was using a hole as a reference point for the corners of the cube trying to figure out how many revolutions/copy but I could not see the pattern(s). I think you stood there and turned it for a lot longer than the 8+ minutes of the vid. Well, I hope you did it, it makes me fell better that I watched the whole thing if you did.

There's nothing like watching a skilled metal worker at work. And that's nothing like... never mind! Happy first of the fourth!

Jonas Jalling
