Frankenlathe

DIY mega log lathe. Built from scrap and manufactured parts. The log will be trimmed using an electric planer held on a spigot in the cross slide. After reducing the log to an accurate cylinder, hand shaping will be done with conventional hand held lathe tools with a tool rest mounted on the cross slide. The cross slide runs of two lengths of angle iron, one welded either side of the C channel bed. Vee rollers from aluminium castings ride on the ridge of the angle iron to guide the cross slide along the length of the bed.
