Building the Gingery metal
lathe - MAIN MENU
This is my experience building the Gingery lathe. This seems fun and
educative.
I have not tried any casting project of this envergure, so I learn a
lot as I go.
After doing some parts, I realize it is a fairly small lathe. But it'll
do!
Here are some of the many patterns I build for the lathe. The round
ones are handles.
You can see the 3" cold rolled, the clamps cold rolled and the
all-thread for the lead screws.
MAKING PATTERNS
Here I make the
patterns for the lathe. A learning experience!
COUNTER SHAFT
Here is the counter
shaft assembly. Only missing the pulleys and belts.
SOME HARDWARE
Here is the
inventory of parts needed and a review of costs vs gains.
BUILDING FLASKS
Here is the 8 x 8 x 6
flask I made for small parts with recycled wood.
LATHE CASTINGS
Here are some pictures of the castings I made for the lathe.
The book used for building this lathe is named "The Metal Lathe" and is
the #2 of the
"Build your own metal working shop from scrap" serie written by David
J. Gingery. http://www.lindsaybks.com/dgjp/djgbk/series/index.html
