Tools and materials I propose:
Air compressor, nail and staple gun kit
In this video I make a woodturner miniature toy, out of 15mm plywood, basswood and a few metal parts.
First of all I cut the base’s parts on the table saw. I glued and nailed them together.
To make the tailstock and the head of the lathe I cut all the pieces at once using carpet tape.
I epoxied a couple of threaded rods in place.
I then turned the pulleys of the lathe.
I made a few other metal parts using a threaded rod, the angle grinder and silver solder.
Next I made the tool rest.
Using a small piece of zebrano wood I turned a test piece for the lathe.
As a belt for the pulleys I used a piece of sandpaper.
Next I shaped the woodturner on the lathe. This was mostly skew chisel work. I did the rest of shaping on the belt sander. I connected the leg and arm parts with 6mm dowels.
I then turned a small roughing gouge for my turner.
I assembled the turned with rubber bands.
Finally I painted everything and did the final assembly of the piece.
And that was it. My woodturner model toy was ready. I hope you liked it. See you soon with a new project video.
