A while back I prepared a GUIDE on how to use a Lathe. I am now releasing this guide that perhaps it might help those that might want to venture into this versatile addition to your shipbuilding.

Thanks for the lathe info. There is no such thing as too much information.

Yes, I plan to do a part 2 and I will focus on ships parts like how to taper mast and yards and such. Yes, I used a drill as my very first lathe. Nothing wrong with that at all. My only drawback that I had was the drill RPM was just too slow. The other advantage of using a drill is that you are not limited on the length of dowel or whatever you need to turn.
El Capi:
Do you have more pictures or schematics of how you build your lathe?
I would like to see more.
