Interesting stuff... a DIY lathe made from concrete for ~$150. Make it big enough and it will be just as immovable as a real cast iron one!

So... When do you start Ade?  :dremel:

Nice little find! Dunno if I'll try it though?

Hehe - not yet Ralph, I've already got more projects than time.... and given your recent op I think you might be better using something a little lighter than concrete?

Divided he ad:
we've all got more projects than time chief!  :proj:

but you're right about the weight!  :lol:



Still, interesting all the same  :thumbup:

BillTodd:
Hmmm...

I see a rendered 3D CAD model but no concrete lathe  :scratch:

Has anyone actually made one of these?
