Homemade Lathe Pt. 1 - The headstock and base

    This is the first video in a series of building a homemade wood lathe
    out of recycled materials. This video covers the building process of
    the headstock and the base. The motor is reused from an ancient metal
    lathe that didn't work, and the bearings are salvaged from a broken air
    compressor.
    The only things that I needed to purchase so far was a new v-belt, and
    a large bolt with some nuts, costing around 15-20 dollars.

    Great job on both the lathe and the video. In response to those who don't know why anyone would spend the time building something like this have obviously built anything. Using something that you have built with your own hands is extremely satisfying, try it. Where does one find the time? Shut the football game off, put the fishing pole away and grab some tools. P.S. the music is fine. Thanks Mike.

    I like the way you compensated for the dip in the throat plate on your table saw when cutting the sled for the headstock slide. Overall quite impressive project man. Very very good work.

  • @2tall2wallk
    @2tall2wallk 9 років тому +1

    The video is great. You showed every step, instead of just telling us what you did, which is good! And you utilized a variety of tools and demonstrated their use. You showed a lot of great techniques to make pieces achieve certain functions. Also, neat music!

  • @markdaniel8740
    @markdaniel8740 9 років тому +1

    Thank you for being efficient in your videography. So many others would have added an additional twenty minutes or more by showing the cutting our assembly in real time and fill that additional time with non words like uh.
    Plus the project is inspirational.

    7:48- used to have that saw- I had to level out the plate to keep small pieces like that changing position on me, nearly causing kickback numerous times.
    Ps- awesome lathe

    I read your instructable and followed your link here. Just wanted to say great job! The instructions were pretty well written and your video fills in any gaps. I may very well make one using your instructions.
    I'm even more impressed that your only fifteen. The care you took and the final look of the product were awesome. I hope you win the tool making contest.

    Use a 1/16" (1.5 mm) notched trowel to spread the construction adhesive evenly with full coverage to both mating surfaces, and drive 2 finishing nails into either end of the pieces before glue-up and reinsert them after spreading the adhesive to align the pieces so that they don't shift while clamping.

  • @allangee
    @allangee 6 років тому +3

    Well done! In case anyone uses this as a guide... when you assemble the two uprights with the bearings in them, it would be a good idea to have a shaft in there. That'll make sure everything is aligned.

    • @paulsheffield4729
      @paulsheffield4729 2 роки тому

      That's what I'd like to know more about. The shaft and pulleys. Do the pulleys have to be keyed or slotted to lock onto the shaft?

    • @jumperstartful
      @jumperstartful Рік тому

      Just what I was thinking. Better alignment of bearings.

    Thanks. That head stock design solves several problems for a low budget guy like me. Not a far jump to use that to turn a belt grinder for knives. Belt speed might be an issue, but...worth a shot.

  • @johnt.chambers4204
    @johnt.chambers4204 5 років тому +4

    Michael, here is a tip I learned from years of cabinet work. Sprinkle salt on your glue and the pieces won't slide when you clamp them. It doesn't take much, just enough to add a little grit to an otherwise slippery surface

    I would suggest an ER32 or ER50 collet extender as the spindle. They can be as long as 200mm, so plenty of space for bearings. I have been researching this the past couple of days and it seems to me the lowest friction way to build a lathe headstock. A couple of Chinese tapered roller bearings at each end 25, 32, or 50mm ID or deep groove ball bearings the same ID as the ER extension shaft and a thrust bearing at the far end for shits and giggles. The deep groove ball bearings or tapered roller bearings by themselves should take care of lateral forces, but who knows, right?
    Et voila, an actual chuck on a shaft that is at least semi accurate.
    Plus you have the bonus of a through hole in the spindle.
    And it's cheap if you shop around.
    If there was a 5c extender like that, I'd probably go with it because you have the advantage of square and hex collets. But as far as I can tell, no such beast exists.
