Build your own mini wood lathe

All I can say is wow this would be alot of work.  But…since wood lathes are not cheap, it could be worth it.  Most of the wood I could find for scrap I have.  Motor…well old appliances would be a good source, and a busted drill for the end.  The pulley system and the chuck would be something hard to find in scraps…so I think that would have to be bought stuff.
