Hello again, my friends,
Today I'll show my latest project,

which  I've been modeling and developing on SketchUp for  a couple of months.

It's a lathe made completely with birch plywood.

As you can see, I've also attached a disc
sander on the left side to take advantage

This is the disc sander's stand, which can
be tilted up to 45º,

which will definitely  come in handy sometimes!

As always, I've tried to develop a design

that would be economic and simple to build.

First we cut all the pieces according to the cutting  list.

We apply glue on these three pieces that will function as base for the lathe.

First I place a couple of screws so that the pieces won't move when fastening them .

We then finish assembling all the system that

Now I'll attach these two pieces with glue

This is the part where I'll insert the bearings that will

Once dry, we create a place for the bearings

I will drill the hole at low RPMs, advancing slowly to avoid burning

I make a rebate for the on and off switches,

and I finish machining and assembling the
rest of the pieces.

Now I'll screw the set to the base. Having
done that, I apply a couple of coats of varnish

now that it's easy, and while it's drying,
I'll cut the six pulleys: three for the motor

I've drilled holes in them with the exact diameter of the motor shaft.

the shaft has a slanted part that sticks out that will prevent the pulleys from moving

backwards, and at the same time will provide traction.

After machining the pulleys, we insert them in the shaft being careful not to hit them

Now I will prepare the base for the motor,

I'll try it little by little to adjust it correctly.

We put the bearings in place and attach the threaded rod.

I place the lathe's pulleys
and glue them together.

Before we move on, I insert the belt. I place
all the nuts and washers, check the measurements,

and now I can fasten and screw everything
in place.

Now I'll machine the lathe's pulleys attaching
them to the motor, and I'll take the chance

to see if everything is working correctly.

These pulleys must be of the same diameter

as their motor counterparts so that we canchange between them without having to move the motor.

Using an angle grinder I sharpen the threaded rod

and cut this piece that I will use for
the lathe's tailstock.

I'll upload the next part as soon as possible.

I hope you like it, and see you next time!
