Great job

[@rickschuman2926]

So actually a bungie lathe. How did you determine the height of the turning centers?

[@AlexEllis]

The augers you're using seem to be a modern kind, that's gripped well by an older brace. What brand/model are they?

Hi Lee, just discovered your channel, love it, thanks for sharing the construction of your pole lathe, are the dimensions you used available anywhere or is that your design 🤔
Cheers

Hi Grant. The measurements aren’t particularly precise but more a guide as my builds tend to use very much recycled materials. However if you look on Sharif Adams’s website there’s a link to a blog that has plans. They are the ones I used for my first lathe build.

Thanks very much Lee

On line. I got that one as part of a set that came in a orange tool roll. Made by Bahco (9526 from toolden for £36)👍
