The elusive homemade wood lathe can be built if you make yourself Do It! This video shows how I made the mandrel/arbor for mounting turning stock onto a motor. The mandrel/arbor needs to be made out of a piece of hard wood!!! I use poplar in the video for testing the build procedure. Soft wood does not work and is dangerous!!! In fact, doing, is dangerous! This video is not an invitation for practice, It is only for illustrative purposes.
