Love any episode that includes the line "I don't even know if this is going to work"!

@NickFerry 8 лет назад

lol me too - even more when it works - I just ordered a lathe yesterday so I'm hoping to experiment a bunch on that as well

@DwarvenTavern 4 месяца назад

I like the hacks that are simple, cheap, and very clever. Great job!

@NickFerry 4 месяца назад

Thanks, it works surprisingly good on various things - ✌🏼

@JohnHeisz 9 лет назад

Well seasoned! Great job Nick!

@NickFerry 9 лет назад

John Heisz Thanks John. I know I've seen you use a chisel on a lathe so I figured it must work.

@billrickett5871 9 лет назад

Well "seasoned"... that's funny... salt -n- pepper.

@RichardTheValiantFoolFox 8 лет назад

Bill Rickett really spiced up the project

@giddue 9 лет назад

This is the best and most simple video I've saw till now to turn a drill press into a lathe. Congratulations!

@NickFerry 9 лет назад

giovanni scarfini thank you

@giddue 9 лет назад

I've just tried and it works so well I'm reconsidering the purchase of a real lathe (consider that I do very small works like hobby on tiny pieces). To place the support bar for the chisel,I've used the socket placed on the side of the chuck (the one that is intended to host the guide for the depht of the hole) and I've used a metal guide for a shelf instead than a threaded bar. Cool! Thanks again!

I have chucked small pieces of dowel into my drill press, but I never thought of using a T-nut as a center. I pride myself on being inventive, but 'hat's off' to the master! Thanks for the tip!

Nice, I just made a Birch Spinning Top for my wife. She saw one at a flea market and remarked that she had one as a young girl. They wanted too much money for them. They were original classics from the 50s. It took forever with stock removal technique on my band saw and belt grinder. But I made it. Now I will try this idea and make one a lot faster and fancier too ! Thanks !

@NickFerry 5 лет назад
