This is my home made lathe built with all hand tools basically, a drill,a hacksaw and a few taps. It was inspired by Doug Cox and the renzetti lathe. The one big difference in my lathe is the thread carriage does not have to be removed to reposition it. Its running in a track and on ball bearing wheels at the same time.

Is that the expensive McMaster-Carr lathe bed? Nice set up.

Mr. Engle,
Do you have a blueprint, parts list, and/or instructions on any of those pieces for construction?
Thanks,
TONY
