I'm about 5 years late, but that was pretty slick. The lathe, camera, and lighting were all great. Good job!

Seen all your work on this lathe and I have to say you are the most brilliant young man around. Thanks for sharing.

Very impressive. Had to go back and watch all of the build videos. Thought I would like to build a lathe myself, but am convinced that the amount of time required is more than I am willing to do. Great Job!!

Thank you so much for all of these videos and for taking the time to show so many of the steps and talking about how much time you've spent doing it all. Now I can feel comfortable about not building one myself because I don't have nearly the amount of time you've spent on this. Congrats on getting it to work so well.

I just binge watched this entire build. And read some comments. There were a LOT of negative comments. ‘That won’t work’, ‘you’ll never get a good cut with that’, ‘a lathe can’t be built’, etc,,,etc.... And to be honest, I cringed more than once watching. However, I would be curious to know how many of your ‘nay-sayers’ have built anything remotely close to the size and complexity of this build. I love it that you proved them all wrong. Good for you. Keep up the awesome work. And I also just subbed.

I think the same, because the people write the negative comments never create any things in his life’s, only comments for make bad for the god persons

every time you hear someone say "you cant". they are actually saying that they are insecure about that when they imagine them self doing it. i also made a metal lathe from my wood. and same how you correct your workpiece (clock), i can adjust my cutter the same way. if they are perfect i screw the nuts tight. and leave the metal cutter on it untill i want to do something with wood again. than i have to remeasure it takes 5 min -.o no big deal.. i would say it can be done. and i found my own way what works as accurate as a new metal lathe

Heres my question to them. If a lathe can't be built, how the hell did they make them in the 60's

@@VileStorms lol I have a lathe from the 40s... There were metal cutting lathes being mass produced for decades by the 1860s that anyone could go and buy... The average craftsman back then was a lot more capable logistically than the common "maker" nowadays .. ik what u meant but that comment gave me a giggle .

It has been a long time since i saw a young gun like yourself having such an enormous amount of determination and confidance . It is so motivating to watch you improve on your machine and succeed . I am an old timer living out here in South Africa

I applaud your ambition, creativity, determination, resoursefulness, flexibility, and persistance.

I am loving the new lighting and camera setup! The videos are already looking more professional!

What you have accomplished is straight up inspirational! Mirroring what others have said, this is how modern precision tools came about by Innovating and improving.

Dude, respect, this lathe is amazing!

man...you are a great industrial mechanic. saw all the videos nonstop, congrats from colombia south america

Three things. 1. Awesome work with the cross feed setup. 2. Camera is looking good and the lights are spot on. 3. Like you said, for a home made lathe it is doing an absolute awesome job.

I am Brazilian and I followed step by step the construction of your lathe, it was very good, I am going to make one too and I intend to make the cross-cart automatic just like yours, the idea of ​​cutting the nut in half was great, congratulations.

When is started watching the home made lathe series I thought he's not gonna have a cross feed and now you have, amazing job!

Very nice job! True mechanic and designer. Simpel and clear!

It's alive! Congratulations! Great dream taken to reality.good luck and thanks for allowing all of us to follow build.

To Rather B welding, To me this is the BEST diy video serries I ever watch ,your home made Lathe are the best in all You Tube lathes : all the parts you used were from junk shop - they are not perfect but you find a way to make it work. your ways and techniques are the good guidance for the amature diy people like me. Your explainations were clear, simple, hummor & humble- far better than any professional teacher. You are young, still in trade school ? But very sharp and practical .I hope you still have time to show us how to make more tools . Thanks a lots.

I just finished my own DIY lathe then i came across your build and your ideas will help me a lot thank you

Nice work, mate. You've inspired me to start my own lathe project.

I remember about 25 years ago when I was in the same position you were in with this project and all the mental gymnastics I did trying to figure out how to get the materials and tooling I had on hand to make the lathe I wanted to make. It would have been different than yours, but I am not sure how much if any better it would have been. I ended up buying a Chinesium 13x40 and it has been a pretty good machine, but I still admire the hell out of yours. Keep up the good work! :-)

I am so impressed with what you have built I’m going to go back and watch the whole build. Nice work

Same here!

Thank you buddy,please continue turning the subject,you're pretty good and our science.Thank you,greetings from the Russian Baltic.

Not only better video, better sound too! The feed turned out awesome... and I agree, for homemade lathe it is nice!

I want to say i am very impressed with your work on this lathe and how you have adapted to changes that impacted your design. I have a suggestion about the mounting of the chuck. There is a recessed area on the back of the chuck, you can turn the back plate so that it fits in that recess area with a lip .This will allow you to attach the chuck centered without the run out that you have now. You could use the same method of mounting you used at the first chuck mounting stage. Your ideas have changed my thinking when it comes to ( bed travel and way design). Thank you

I just love all your home made designed and built stuff, mate its' great

THAT THING WORKS BETTER THAN MY STORE BOUGHT LATHE!! WELL DONE YOUNG MAN, OLD ONE LEGGED JOSEPH T.

Great video The new camera rocks and great sound and lights. You should be very proud of the tools you have made You can see the attention to detail and craftsmanship you put into your lathe. Great job

So many things you do brings back memories, great job, the thingy with the threads is called a half nut.

Maybe a little too late say but I really like your videos. I’m a mechanical engineer and I always find reason I can’t do something. I really like the way you tackle everything and keep a positive attitude! Keep on building, welding, grinding, and cutting! I’ll keep on watching! BTW, I want to build one just like yours!

hello , you are a absolute winner and a tremendous teacher ! let the young and old see that technics is great fun !! Thanks !

So awesome! Thank you for posting all these great videos. Cheers

I love watching the entire build, very impressive job for homemade lathe. I had a production lathe that didn't do the job that yours is doing. congrats on a brilliant job..

Impressive and inspirational home made lathe and you are developing quite a range of skill sets. I think that you would be a worthy winner of one of Keith Fenner's Toolboxes. Make sure to enter.

Great project. I'm busy building my own lathe at the moment and you are definitely showing me the ropes. Strangely enough , I'm also using an "I" beam similar to yours but it is oriented the other way. Thanks for a great video.

Good on you. Just "Good on you" for doing it and making it so successful. You have judgement and the right attitude. Love it all. You started with what looks like a pretty reasonable chuck. The de-chucking and re-chucking of the aluminium pulley in the other video worked so well, with such little runout, considering the number of times you had that thing mounted -just indicates it's pretty good. Yep, I appreciate it very much.

Hey just jumped on your channel because I’m trying to make my own lathe metal machine and by far yours have gotten my attention that I subscribed very impressive for a young man to do kudos to you and your video quality is great thanks for sharing your knowledge I will use your ideas thanks buddy great job

And yeah for a homemade lathe I'm impressed by that finish nice job

Awesome video the upgrade is sweet. Really good for a home made lathe the feed idea is so perfect and easy. Sure you spent some R&D time getting that to work so good.

Hi completely brilliant, lighting great video great and the lathe itself is awesome, well done.

That is something you should be proud of bro, it's simply amazing how well you did with it. I've watched every video now I'm moving to your others.

great job. I'm a mold maker and I'm impressed by your mechanical mind able to be creative with your set ups. You have inspired me to also get in the garage and build something. For me it's wood working. Keep doing what you're doing. THUMBS UP!

I have been working on a lathe just like the 1 you made its the best home made lathe that I seen and I been looking hard

PERFECT .. Vid is clear audio is great .. Perfect job on the pulley sizes .. Thumbs up !!

I'm pretty damn impressed. You pulled it off.

Absolutely stunning!!

Very impressive my friend!I enjoy watching this series of homemade lathe...very good job!

Looks good and the self feed on the ur lath looks and works good. I wish I had one in my garage for making parts for the go parts in building

I like the progress you've made.

Seu torno ficou muito bom. Ótimo resultado. Esse sistema do automático ficou simples e eficaz, aprendi bastante com o seu projeto. Parabéns, já me inscrevi no canal.

6:47 Something REALLY need lubrication! Awesome construction the good results are showing one step at a time. Well done. ;-)

Man that lathe looks good

Very interesting, been following your builds. Watching from North Bay Ontario, Canada.

Honestly I like all your steps in building your own lathe amazing giant project thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge etc. We have a proverb back home in Algeria "when the fox cannot reach the grapes in the high vine tree he says the grapes are sour" meaning dont listen to the negative comments and go forward you doing very well. Keep inproving and studying. Knowledge is from the cradle to the grave God did not create the perfection in this world. Remember people always laugh about what they dont understand long vision is a gift and isn't given to all. Keep going Bro no TURNING back

Very perfect home made lathe. Your idea is very intresting.

Impressive with your work skills and your lathe... great job!!!!

I am a retired R/D aircraft engineer this lathe you have made is really top class you should do well in the engineering trade. The carriage which is moving along the lathe base plate. Try this obtain some thick white felt (1/2 inch thick) cut 2 strips about 1/8 to 3/16 wide. length of strips being the lathe base plate width secure felt to carriage base plate only (Chuck side and tail stock side) with thin brass strip & screws ,make sure brass strip is just touching lathe slide base surface but felt is firm on said. Oil felt well. AS you move carriage along this will keep out chips from getting between the moving surface, plus will improve the sliding action of slide. You might be able to do the same on compound etc. Remember to oil felt once a week if you use lathe a lot. Clean lathe face reg to prevent crude build up. Keep the improvements going .

Well done!! And the camera set-up is great!

Nice video quality. The finish looks good i'm amazed for a home made machine. I seen someone use a mig wire motor and controller for an automatic feed unit on a lathe you can then adjust the feed with a simple twist of a knob.

Damn. This is such an impressive project. Enjoyed all the videos. Raw talent at work! Good video production to.

Dude you are a smart guy. Keep up the good work.

Good 👍 camera n nice warm lighting. Awesome job simple feed system 👍. Thanks for sharing

I'm not sure I'd go near it if it were running but I;m extremely impressed. Well done on the whole build.

Yeah, it looks excellent. The lighting is great except for the lamp shining off the peg board. Good investment. That Redbeard fella knows his stuff.

wow, impressive results from a machine that you have put together without any other real machine tools. Well done!

Man, you are a god. Amazing work

and watch a lit of these videos about guys making stuff . I had to make a lot of stuff to compliment my line of work and i enjoyed every moment . I wish you success with all your projects and keep at it with that lathe you are doing just awesome .

Great job on your lighting and your added feed control

Dude quality is look great nice work on the lathe works well

You sir, are an impressive human being. Fantastic.

Hello!!! Accidentally hit on your video on a lathe. The first part was not really relevant to the idea. But you managed to surprise me. It is evident that you have hands grow from the right place. All looked with admiration. You're very cool. Few people is this. From me to you respect and uvazhuha. (online translator)

thats sweet you made all of that lathe

Congratulations, great job!

Well done to you young man! All I can say is that you are in an elite group. You will use this tool to make better tools, your mind will now expand as it ponders better ways you have a begun a pathway that could lead you to endless possibilities. Please ignore the critics here and you just press on.

I've enjoyed your videos ...Thanks

Love it, great job.

Thank you for sharing. Great work. Congratulations.

hola . soy luis de cordoba . Argentina . estube viendo varios de tus videos . aparentemente funciona bien el torno . sos un MAESTRO...........

Maybe get a variable frequency drive (e.g. from Banggood or ebay). They will however set you back around 100 Bucks, but maybe you can find a used one. -You can vary the speed with a knob -They can be set to a certain power output limit (safer, i case something jams)

Great job!

This lathe is way better than the lathe I don't have! I've been looking at used lathes on eBay and wishing I had one....

Brilliant man!

I HAVE SEEN ALOT IN 65 YEARS, GOD HAS TRUELY GIFTED YOU WITH A CREATIVE MIND, THANK HIM DAILY

es ist eine Drehbank ! Das Bett ist nicht geschabt und so weiter und so fort . Ich bin Zerspannungsmechaniker und was er da gebaut hat ist völlig in Ordnung innerhalb einer Toleranz . In diesenVideo hat er eine Schloßmutter nachgestellt und eine Gewindestange eingebaut . Yippieh + Riemenscheiben . Sein Problemwird natürlich später sein , das er nur einen VORSCHUB hat (Ich hoffe er ändert dies , allein schon um Gewinde drehen zu können oder gezogene Läufe zu drehen / räumen . Das was Er jetzt aber schon hat , ist ausbaufähig und er hat nicht am MAterial gespart , es ist eine SOLIDe Basis , die er nach und nach noch PRÄZISER machen kann . Gute Drehbänke fahren 5/100 mm . Ich hoffe er hat einen Drehstrommotor verwendet 380V

The truth is that your lathe is much better than what I have, which is no lathe and the need to do many small projects that your lathe could accomplish. very good build. I will be looking closer at doing the same.

Good job! Spinner in the background is cool))

Really you are genie and you have a golden hands .... continued please Ahmed from Algeria

You could add a slope to the body of the lathe so that the lever on the carriage hits it and disengages to prevent the tool holder from crashing into the chuck

Yes I think its good idea... protect the chuck is very important to equipment and operator also

Dude ive just retired from 41 yrs in engineering trade and i have watched many vids on home made lathes , ive just watched all yours back to back awesome job buddy you should be well proud Glad to see you bought a tap wrench in the end 😁 do me a favour in the future STOP running your hands over metal fillings voice of experience speaking now good luck in the future son with your carrier 🤘🤘🤘

Great job man.

You nailed it kid!

I admire your work and your insistence that the project be successful. I wish you success and brilliance always

This is pretty amazing. Nice work

All simple is brilliant. I liked your machine.

I'm impressed. Very nice.

You realy have a golden hands, man !!

I was very happy to see another lathe video. I was beginning to wonder if you were still using it. The video quality was very good.

Молодец! Такие как вы дают мне старт для своих самоделок!

Great video quality and great auto feed.

Amazing work !!

Awesome some video and the camera work's great too.

Great job bud !
