Making a lathe with a washing machine motor

[thee bugged one]

Can anyone direct me to some good resources on making a lathe mostly from scratch ala Peter King or Les Paul? Thanks in advance!

Hi,

That's really agitating

You won't find compete plans anywhere. But if you search around here you'll see lots of DIY builds. That should give you some inspiration.

Give it a spin and it should come out in the wash.

That was a very, very punny reply. Well played sir, well played.

If you get it figured out, you Maytag me, @lathecuts on Instagram.

The key to something like this is to not let the assembly process deter, gents.

Dear Friend!

See my project! Maybe you could get some ideas and tips.

I met Les Paul once, who told me a bit about his lathe. I believe the platter is the flywheel from a Cadillac transmission.
Can't recall anything else at this point. _M
