This project comes straight out of the excellent book "Metal Lathe for Home Machinists" by the great Harold Hall.
This is the first book that I ever read about running a manual lathe, and recently while going back through it I realized that I'd never actually completed many of the projects in the book.
I begin to remedy that here.
So please, download your free drawings and follow along as I walk through the entire process of completing this fundamental project.
Whether you're looking to expand your skills, dive into your first tool making project, or just looking for a fun Saturday afternoon project for the shop, this one's for you.
You will get to spend time in front of your machines, and will have a tool to put in the toolbox when you're done.
