17. The lathe
The lathe, the workpiece and the resulting sawdust.
Now I plan to use the lathe to make some patterns for the faceplate
and pulleys, and cast them in aluminium. I have an old washing
machine motor and belt which will probably work fine to turn the
lathe. Probably I'll eventually use a more sturdy shaft, but for now
12mm is convienient since I have a 12mm drill bit.
