Friends:

The Real Lathe is done and it works. The details are all in the video. It's been a wild ride building my own full-size machine tool, but it's also been a lot fun and a HUGE learning experience.

Thanks so much for sticking with me and supporting me as I chased this one down. 

Stay warm!

Hi Rex, did you ever issue drawings for the Real Lathe? I have a Shop Smith and the tool rest is very bad. The tool rest for the Real Lather would be a vast improvement of the one I have. The problem I have is the cam lock mechanism. Some drawings of the cam lock mechanism would be very helpful to me. Thanks.

I was holding my breath when you started it up on that huge piece. I am glad you were able to get the lathe up and running, you did a great job with it.

Aaron Sprague

awesome journey thanks for taking us along.

Seriously impressive!

Another great video Rex. To be honest, I've got no serious interest in wood turning, but I've really enjoyed the lathe build videos regardless. Don't underestimate the entertainment value of a project like this, it's not just for wood turners.

I'm glad you think so! I know not everyone is a turner, but many of us need a machine we can't afford and it seemed like building one would make good content.

Well it's certainly made good content, and also a great resource for mechanical planning in general I think.

Perhaps if I and others nudge a little, Rex, you'll think about coming back and finishing this?
