My home made lathe..

once I got past using broom handles and small dowels to make poppers and needle fish.. I made this lathe.. using an old 1/2" drill and some good old yankee inginuity... originaly I used another drill and a bit to attempt carving as the plug as well as regular wood chilsels.. the lst and most sucessfull tool was the roto zip...
