Hey, I’m Bryan. And I recently acquired an antique metal lathe.
It was first owned by my grandfather and his father. Earlier this spring, my dad gave it to me. This site is my journey as I set up and learn basic wood-turning skills.
The Plan
Here on So I Made This, I’ll share photos of the restoration and the projects I create.
The Lathe
The lathe is a Seneca Falls Star lathe, made in 1890. It is powered by an old washing machine motor and weighs about 400 lbs.
Photos and videos to follow soon. Stay tuned!
