HMS Victory by Y.T.- Mamoli - 1:90 scale
Haha, you imply we will not be splitting hairs? By the way I checked wheel thickness per John Mckay 100-Gun Ship Victory drawings. Wheel thickness is right. It is even 0.10 mm thinner than original drawing shows.

No comments. Actually this is an improved Mamoli provided parts cannon.
Always forgetting to put a metric ruler against the product.
No comments??? That is like the judge admonishing the jury to disregard that last statement!!! My only comment is that I think that the barrel is too glossy and highlight shine is distracting but that is probably because of the lighting. How does this little popper look aboard? Nice work.

Good afternoon. Here are the pillars supporting decks. This little lathe rally rules. 
Ohh. Sorry. Forgot this ruler again.
Wow, those pillars look identical, did you use the template?
No, Jimsky. I used HMS Victory Museum pictures and my own inspiration when cutter hits the stock.
Your own inspirations work well, Y.T. They are darn identical... 
Jimsky, Thanks. I myself did not know I can do it. I never used the lathe before. Just knew the theory.
That's great to hear, Y.T. You would never know if you...well, never try.
They asked one man if he is able to play piano. He said I never tried but I think I can do it.
Now that we know the lathe of your liking. . . what is it and from where? My battery drill does not do the job without the end pin and track. Rich (PT-2)
Something like this one:

You have it in 100 to 300 W (last more powerful). Check youtube videos "mini lathe".

NIce price but no place for toys for this boy :-( Rich (PT-2)
Wow, this is like a complete toolset! I'm kinda guessing that some of those tools will never be used, but who knows? Not bad for a tag price. I've seen just a lathe of this kind for $40,00 bucks. Many thanks, Daniel for sharing the link.

Y.T. can provide us details of what he has. I do not want to side track his amazing build log. But I will say, Jimsky, that the 300W mini lathe of this type is around $150 dollars. I knew it because last month I did a lot of search to buy one. I was afraid to buy the 100W and the 300W price was near the mini proxxon lathe. So I ended buying the proxxon for $200 just because you can feed a 7 mm diameter wood from the back. So you are not limited to the wood length piece, but limited by the 7 mm diameter size.
Nevertheless, there is a youtube video of a guy showing how he extended the base of Y.T. mini lathe to accommodate longer wood pieces.
Y.T. what power has your model?
It is very nice to see what you are building with that mini lathe. I was really hesitant to buy one thinking in a poor quality product. But now I see you are using it and is working well to our hobby. FANTASTIC !!
Thanks Y.T. for showing your work!!

No markings on motor but AC adapter is 96W. I got it for CAD $68 in 2018. Quality is good enough. I got just lathe and adapter. No other useless trinkets.
