    You are the real master of overengineering. Respect for your ambition!
  • @cavemaneca
    I think the reverse of a lathe is just a mill... So you built a mill with an upside down spindle. Still, it looks like this has some benefits specifically for doing woodworking, and probably cheaper than a full sized mill. Not a bad design overall, and very neat in regards to the engineering done here.
  • @blueselectric
    So glad I know how to turn by hand, on an actual lathe. This is an over-thought, glorified router table jig. A separate bit, set up, and adjustment for every different size of cove or bead. No doubt you have top level 3D printing knowledge, etc., but they could be put to much better use. My opinion, and I know what opinions are worth.

    This build is so good. the visual BOM at 10:18 - not only gorgeous but so helpful to have indexed in one spot. And the flexures in the dowel orientation jigs - 12:27 - I imagine that helps with vibration and fit across rough cut wood. Beautiful
  • You must have some manufacturing background! So many subtle considerations for rigidity/flexibility, repeatability/precision, DFM, etc. Super inspiring build
  • @OGMann
    A router table with a 2 axis sled and a z axis spindle. Or, an upside down 3 axis milling machine with a stationary gantry. A few ways to imagine it. I'm glad you made your vision a reality you enjoy. Have a lot of fun with it, and make some really cool stuff.
  • @Anand_Dzines
    10:06 When the hinge action happened, I lost my shit!!! This is brilliant.
  • @316woodworks9
    Finally a project that I don't think I want to try to build. Totally amazing!
  • Interesting idea. Well executed. Though it seems a bit limited in material size and shape that is able to process, as well as what it can produce. Dont get me wrong... It is useful, just specialized.
  • @planckstudios
    6:32 - love the slotted design for mounting each foot to the table - with the inset space for the washer. with the many connection points, this addition makes the project buildable by us non-robots
  • @guseletov
    Mixed feelings on this one. Emotionally - great, fantastic build! All that invested thinking, design and implementation start to finish.. On another hand - lathe - often even without engine (like spring lathe or other varieties ) - has it's own beauty in simplicity and versatility. For example. - sanding or oiling surface. Anyway - thank you for sharing!
  • @printednest
    I am not sure, if anybody here has mentioned, that all of your tools are parametrically modelled in grasshoper. Your scripts are insane and it is worth of new YT channel. I am beginner in this topic, but its truly digital manufacturing, which is our future, respect!
  • A table mill, or a router table with a fancy holding jig. It could be more elegant though, much less parts, better rigidity. Use your inner Grandpa Amu.
  • Эти 3d принтеры гениальные инструменты. Их стоит приобретать только потому что ни в одном магазине в мире не найти нужных деталей. А 3d принтер просто решение всех проблем.
  • It must be a lot of fun to make all your own stuff... But I swear just in hardware I've just beared witness to at LEAST a few thousand dollars worth of rods, bearings, bushings, nuts, bolts, inserts. Damn.
  • @MattJonesYT
    Next is to control the whole thing with arduino steppers and have it build a 3d printer frame
  • I have mixed feelings about this one. In one way it’s a cool build to show what you can do, on the other hand it seems not very efficient to use. But I enjoyed the video! Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
  • My dad used to have a "router crafter" that was essentially this. Very neat little tool. Yours is really cool! Really nice work.
