How to make a mini lathe in 10 minutes

I was thinking how can a 7-year-old video quality be so high but then I realized this video is only from 2016.

How long do the bearings last?

Amazing. I was cracking my head trying to engineer a lathe w stuff I had at home thinking it can't be that difficult... I was planning it w a bench wheel grinder but this is quite a bit simpler plus as stated here, variable speed is a big plus

This is kind of genius. I have all the parts…used to own a skate board shop. I’m going to play with it.

I'm going to build this. The tail stock and tool bar I want to move thru grooves with cam lever clamps to secure them instead of screws.

This is fricken genius, thank you.

A video on fixing bearings into wood will make things easier . Just Like in this video but a detailed one for only bearings and shaft fixing

Nice job! I'm going to use head and tail you used. I hope I can make them as good as you did here.
Some safety advice here, use a mounted wood block with bolt for your drill trigger (adjustable speed control), and an outlet box with a plug and switch (quick power disconnect).

Good job

The tangs I used to turn over to the front broke off. Any advice?

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Damit this is taking me longer than 10 minutes 😫 😩 😭

A real clean solution with the skateboard bearings. Thanx!

Awesome thank you

This video was on target for me because I have an old "screw gun" just looking for use. Excellent presentation, but lose the music please.

Im going to make a modified version of this to accomodate a mandrel for pen making. Really cool idea that im going to pursue.

Hyvä video.

Thank you for showing people how to do this you’ve just saved me an insane amount of money to get started on one of the crafts I’m super interested in jumping into!!!

Great rough and ready build, thanks for sharing. *tip for the drill wrap: Instead of Velcro strap,
what about using a hose clip with a thumb screw to adjust the pressure on the trigger ?

Izzy as always ,I tend to overthink alot 🙄, amazing

I like all of your works 👏👏👏

Do you have to use something like poplar because of strength or can I use any wood available

Please turn down that music!!

Mashaallah khub valo video.....

DUDE!!!
exactly what I need, you are the bomb!

Great idea 💡 👍 👏 👌 😀

Good job

Hey Izzy. This really great. My main issue is I cannot get the t-nut teeth to turn over. They snap off. Any suggestions?

Awesome I’m gonna try this out myself

That guitar tone isn't taking any prisoners.

I've watched too man videos on quick diy wood lathes, this one is by far the best one I've seen, I'm definitely building this one, THANK YOU Izzy

great 👏🏻

Nice job izzy

I love it. How to make a mini lathe in 10 minutes....In a six minute video! Dude you're my hero!

Great idea

You have a wonderful sense of making a great instructional video!

Super idea

Excellent, simple and easy to build !!! Thank you !!!

That's brilliant i'm going to try it... after I try the 10 million other ideas I have up my sleeve - no seriously I will - I love it!

What speed would u say on yr drill. Half way?

I wanted to make a lathe for so long, now I can make one. Thanks izzy

⚘❤♥️♥️

Absolutely brilliant! Do you think this would turn light aluminum? If it would I have an idea haha

I could use this when making handles for my knives

Simple but great idea 💡!

Very simple yet effective i like the wood chiseled idea

Make a lathe in 10 minutes:
Not even a minute into the video: let that set for afew hours

5/16 inch? Oh NO!!! I have only 8 mm bolts, t-nuts and bearings!!
Luckily the converter could tell me 5/16 inch = 7,9375 mm !! :D
