Made originally by a guy called Dave Gingery ...
Yeah I know it's a complete start but it should be fun.

Has anybody actually made or seen one of these?

There are a lot of people making this lathe. Check out these web pages.

Thanks Jgro,

You rock.
I thought that I might have got all the pages on these things ... but obviously not.

Thanks again.
