Turning huge columns on a homemade lathe

English:

The columns shown in this video were made on lathe custom made by me. Most of the tools used in the process were made by me also.

The columns may be up to 12" x 12" in the square part or 13" diameter in the round section and up to 11 feet long. (30.5 cm x 30.5 cm x 3.35 meters)

Please post any questions or comments and I will answer them ASAP. You can send me a private message too.

Español:

Las columnas mostradas en este video son hechas en un torno hecho por mi mismo. La mayoría de las herramientas que uso tambien fueron hechas por mi.

El tamaño maximo de la columna puede llegar a ser de 12 pulgadas x 12 pulgadas en la seccion cuadrada y por 11 pies de largo (30.5 cm x 30.5 cm x 3.35 metros).

Cualquier pregunta o comentario pueden dejarlo en la seccion de comentarios o mandame un mensaje y responderé lo mas pronto posible.

Very interesting... you may wish to try a metal plate afixed to your 'dead centre' end and use a 'live centre' into it.

@zzf00l I will try, thank you very much.

ihave never seen a lathe that cuts its self

[jesustm6]

@carsnmods11 I made this lathe based on a metal working lathe, that is why it has a power feed.
