My first attempt at building a functional lathe. It is also my first NQC

Bob, are you completetly nuts???? First the infamous toast-cutting
mills, and now a lathe....what is the material you are cutting? It looks
like a wax candle.

My Dad was a tool and die maker, so I had lots of time to tinker
in the machine shop - getting my fingers dirty when I was younger
makes me (I think) a better engineer.

These are really cool models, and they work!!! Bravo.

Cheers,
