First take a look on my homemade woodturning lathe video:
I also made another video to show you construction of headstock, tailstock and mounting the motor, which is 1.1 kW 220 V motor from old water pump. Hope you will enjoy.

Oh yea? Well I have a 1.21 Jiggawatt motor on mine;) It has a governer to keep it under 82k rpm though. Let’s just say you don’t wanna know what can happen if it exceeds that limit. Lathes? Where we’re going we won’t need lathes…Turn to the future! Happy shavings!
