Simple Portable Lathe | Japanese Woodworking 

When you want to pursue wood turning, but have neither the space nor the money for a full-blown lathe. Very well done! 👏🏻

Wauw!! ..... I'm speechless! .... This is THE most impressive DIY lathe I've ever seen! And with inspiration to make endless jigs to make almost all shapes easier and safer to make. I'm really amazed by this! Thank you SO SO much! ❤ /Pia from Denmark PS: Now more than ever I want to try to "turn wood" for the first time ever, with my own DIY lathe, and with help from a local experienced wood turner. I'm 60 years old, living alone, and want to reduce the risk of making moves that will go wrong - but I also love to learn new skills. And with a limited budget, it seems to be a good idea to buy a few quality cutters and make a sturdy DIY lathe, instead of buying an expensive "plug and turn" lathe and cheap cutters. ❤

if there was a Nobel Prize for woodworking, you would be the winning candidate.

That is the most amazing home made tool I have ever seen . So functional, accurate, versatile. Thank you for making this video.

I don’t have a lathe because whenever I think of a lathe I picture, you know, a lathe as in big dedicated piece of equipment. I have neither budget nor room in my tiny workshop for another big piece of equipment. But this I can hang on the wall when not using it and clamp it to the edge of my work bench when I do. PERFECT!

Simplicity and precision, such eternal Japanese qualities; your results are impressive, thank you. I love the soundtrack; makes you feel like doing it yourself. 🙏🏼

Давно не встречал настолько качественного видео. В нём прекрасно всё: и используемая древесина, и идеи, и исполнение. И даже даны чертежи в конце, для тех, кому недостаточно идеи!

Nice work. Very thorough. Not overdone. Thanks, but what I liked most was that you showed what you were going to build, first. I don't follow woodworkers who make me wait until the end to see what they are making.

Благодарю Вас за прекрасные идеи 🤝🏻 💡 очень понравилось все! 😊

Wow, amazing lathe you have built there. The wood you were carving is very beautiful too.

Мастер!!! Моё уважение к вам!!!

You always have very nice wood to work with. Awesome design!

Спасибо за идеии. Все лаконично, понятно, без лишней воды.

Шикарна робота майстра професіонала !Браво , МАЕСТРО ! Маєте золоті руки даровані Богом !

So simple, easy and functional. I love it!

As a CNC machinist this video put a smile on my Monday. Thank you

Beautiful and relaxing. My grandpa was a carpenter and builder, and there's something about working wood that soothes me. Thanks.

Brilliant work and the accessories that you build are ever perfect and amazing, I am fascinated by your work, thank you so much for sharing your skills and ideas.

Just wow! Thank you for the detailed idea with all the necessary dimensions. You are the best!

😮 This is a simple, incredible, the clean and precise results... just fantastic, thank you

Делал такой, и приблуду к нему для точения шаров тоже. Вполне рабочая штука. Тут главное хорошо заточенный инструмент, как в этом видео.

Браво Маэстро, пешка ключевая фигура, здоровья тебе и благополучия !

the plans you give are really helpful and you have great ideas

Incredible. Nice work!

Oh my god. Damn! I'm sat here mouth open in awe at how you've taken woodworking (yet again!!!) to a whole new level. I'm about to move into a bungalow which was owned by my late inlaws, he was a retired engineer and had a full size lathe (which he built!) and a drill press (which he built!) and loads of other gear. Unfortunately when he died everything went to charity which is something I was upset about but it was his will. There's no way I can afford to buy a lathe or have the space for one but this is perfect. Thank you so much for showing this.

В детстве с отцом делали шахматы на самодельном станке. Ну как с отцом, он делал, а я кругами ходил)). Табуретка осталась только фигурная и воспоминания. Ну тоже что-то вытачивал немного. Приятно с деревом работать это точно. Снанок жалко остался у дядьки. Надо тоже сделать, детям поуазать как это делается всё.

Excellent and easy DIY Ideas. Thank you.

Simply and easy with professional lathe cutting tools 😊

Великолепный мастер! Каждый раз просмотр ваших видео доставляет удовольствие и вызывает восхищение! Спасибо большое за отличные, сильные идеи!!! 🏋️‍♀️🤝💯

Сказать что это круто, это ничего не сказать. Мастер своего дела!!!

Great project Thank you for sharing!

One of the most satisfying videos of my life! Thank you kind sir!

You never stop impressing me. Amazing work

Dear Yasuhiro Tv, I congratulate and thank you for this wonderful application. Like your other wonderful and very detailed videos and applications that I have watched, this one is also extraordinarily beautiful. As always, you find great solutions when it comes to auxiliary equipment (such as taper cutting). Thanks again. I'm looking forward to your new productions. Kind regards.

the simplicity of the lathe is simply... brilliant!

Very impressive! Good job!

I turned 2 wooden pens back in high school, still have one of them. Been hoping to turn new ones as gifts but don't have a lathe, this will absolutely work for me to do.

ПРОСТОЙ токарный станок, для создания которого нужна куча инструмента, точные размеры и большое количество времени. Брависсимо 👍

Very impressive

Many great techniques shared. Thanks.

Здравствуйте! Это лучшее что встретил за последнее время, была идея, но теперь, благодаря вашему оригинальному решению вопроса, постараюсь в точности повторить эту конструкцию! Спасибо! 🙋🇺🇦

Belissimo o seu trabalho. És muito inteligente e muito habilidoso , o projeto do seu torno ( Machine ) ficou sensacional. Parabéns ! Aproveitei e me inscrevi no seu canal.

I love everything you do. This is very much without a doubt one of my most favorite woodworking channels to watch. I appreciate the simplicity of your methods and their effectiveness. I google translated this next portion, so forgive me if there is any bad translation. 専門知識を共有していただきありがとうございます。

Класс! Полезно для тех, кто занимается перемоткой динамиков. Под любую катушку можно сделать заготовку, не заморачиваясь поиском токаря.

Como sempre , muito bom seus trabalhos

Excelente!! Gracias por la maravillosa herramienta

Admirable Maestro.

Спасибо большое за отличные, сильные идеи!!! 🏋‍♀🤝💯💪💪

По-моему, тут сам процесс доставляет удовольствие! )))

Just incredible

Un verdadero torno, hermoso trabajo, tratare de copiarlo gracias por su aporte.

Very nifty and elegant, do note that corded and cordless drills have a very limited lifetime, rated for about 25mins or so use over lifetime (because the intended use is only a few seconds per screw/hole etc.). But if you can find a loose motor, like from a sewing machine those are rated for longer continuous use.

Excelente trabalho , Grato por compartilhar seus conhecimentos

My dear brother in mind. Every movement of you expresses a clear, precise, calm, steady and loving relationship with your surrounding and this wonderful material. Wood. I wish you all the best from Germany. ❤

Nice! Reminds me of when I was a teenager and I built a lathe from a washing machine motor and steel bed rail. Worked great.

Hermoso trabajo 👏

I love this channel. I remember watching craftsmen make things at my dads shop and how easy they made it look. Maybe will you do a video with ways that you can fix or avoid mistakes? Thank you.

That was amazing!

This is impressive. Very Impressive. The usage video was exceptionally compelling.

Impressionante fantástico

Очень здорово, и просто👍👍👍молодцы, что показали всем интирисующим

You are _the_ top tier wood crafter on RU-vid.

🇧🇷 grato por compartilhar seu conhecimento

Мастерство - красота

Спасибо за показ простой идеи

Congratulations, this alternative solution to the lathe is fantastic. (Curitiba, Paraná, Brasil)

A man after my own heart. Why buy it when you can make it? Well done. Stewart, south west Australia.

Только хотел написать, что хорошего бы названия всех этих деталей, а в описании уже все есть) Браво!

2:55 The threaded inserts should ideally be on the backside of the wood, so as you tighten the bolts down, the tension will pull them *into* the wood instead of theoretically pulling them out of the wood.

Excelente maestro , se le agradece👍🏻

Woodworking Skill Level 100. I love it. Thanks for sharing

Пешка получилась идеальная❤

Недавно заметил что и размеры приложены в конце, как у Gökmen'a (там впервые увидел что-бы размеры давали, это очень крутой ход)

Very good crafting skills :)

Sei un genio. Grazie mille di condividere la tua conoscenza.

Восхищаюсь простотой решения задачи!!! 👍 Это даже по-русски! Не страшен черт, как его малюют! Но начинать страшновато! Спасибо!!!

I absolutely LOVE IT when people repurpose tools (that most of us DO have) to do the jobs of tools we DON'T generally have. I'd love to have a complete woodworking workshop with evertything...but if I can make do with what I do have...WOW! Thanks! Always wanted to try turning, but a lathe a big outlay...this is FANTASTIC. Posting from Johannesburg, South Africa. (yes, the country with daily power cuts now, and no end in sight...prob going to become worse....why? corruption, AA, cadre deployment, and lack of maintenance after black gov takeover)

I have been wanting a lathe for a long time, I didn’t realize I have had one! Thank you!

Very good idea

Hope you have a corded drill. If not, you're gonna need about 50 batteries to complete 1 job.

I'm blown away! This is magnificent.

As always, your designs are elegant and effective.

Perfect job, thank you so much for great video

This is ingenious 👍

This is a very genius set up, thanks for some inspiration. Love the simplicity 💖🙂

Beautiful. Its like the ASMR of turning wood.

I love you, and thr channel, and that you ppst measurements and design for free.. we need more people like gou in this world

Holy Cow! Never would have thought to use a drill in this way. Bookmarked! Might have to try this sometime

Great job well done. And you are so kind to share your plans

O torno é bem simples o problema maior é ter essa habilidade que vc tem com goivas.... muito bom...

My favorite part is placing the sanding paper on the spinning wood and make it super smooth. I haven't done it but it's the coolest part.

Thank you!

Might finally have a use for the set of bearings that have been sitting in my car console for 23 years. 😂

Brilliant ❤

Nothing more as to agree to all the praise said. My father loved this kind of lathe work in his twenties and we still have a few pieces he produced. Having little money in the 1960ies, he build a lathe piece by piece from metall rubble with the help of an elder Metal turner and engineer he befriended and who turned out to be very kind. Even so a table circular saw, and we were able to do some nice contributions to a few greater projects of our community. Unfortunately he passed away 1978 in the age of 45 (and my mum unfortunately never coped with his values of work and threw away these tools - hopefully just in an act of mourning) - otherwise he would have pioneered some of this channels as well, at least he would have admired this simplifiers, pioneers and inventors the way I do and tried to pick their information.

amazing

Incredible precision. Very impressive at every turn.

Excelente! saludos desde Argentina.

Dude kicks it up a notch every time.

I wasn't looking for a new favourite channel, but you win 👏
