I wanted to pick up a mini lathe for turning small things like drawer pulls and box handles. After seeing some incredibly cheap wood lathes pop up when researching online, I took on the challenge of finding the cheapest one and testing it! Ultimately, I found this wood lathe from China. A ton of sellers offer it on lots of websites so I have no clue who actually manufacturers it. While the lathe says it’s for beads, many listings and pictures show it used to turn other small projects. I have no turning experience, which is obvious in the video. The video isn’t about my turning ability; I know there are online resources and videos I can watch. I wanted this video to be about the lathe itself. I figured that if I could figure out a way to use it to make something nice then anyone can. ---⏱️Timestamps⏱️--- 0:00 Intro 0:33 Unboxing the Lathe 1:59 How to use the Mini Lathe 3:53 Adjustable Box Joint Jig 3:54 Testing the Mini Wood Lathe 8:09 Disaster! 8:59 Turning with a Mini Lathe •• About NewtonMakes•• I’m Billy and I make fun things.
