Got a mini-lathe for Christmas last year and needed something to put it on. Hundreds of spinning tops and mushrooms later, I’m pretty sure it was worth it. Here’s a couple other things from my lathe.
I checked out a few designs and built my own from those ideas. Used some 3d software to build it there first, mainly so I could make sure I didn’t do anything stupid.
Need to add a vice still but figure it’s mostly done, though I’m already running out of room now. Why? You have some ideas?
