[WIP] Woodworking Lathe -- Late 1800's
-
Very cool ! Curious where you found dimension drawings of the various parts. It's pretty hit and miss when I try and find dimension drawings for cool old stuff online ( usually miss ). Looking forward to seeing it printed. -
Thank you. Old text books are good sources for this sort of stuff.
-
Cool project!
-
Thank you Bryan.
A little more progress. Tailstock isn't finished yet and I need the hand wheel for the tool rest.
-
I can feel the wieght of that piece it looks very authentic and believable
-
Thank you Liam.
A little more progress this morning. Not happy with the back part of the tail stock casting. It needs work but I decided to leave it for awhile and think about it. On to other parts.
-
Only a little more progress. Hand wheels, reworking the tail stock casting and a bunch of small parts left to do.
-
Very nice indeed.
-
Looking great!
-
Thank you.
Lathe has turned to the back burner but I did get handwheels and a few other parts modeled.
-
Nice!
-
Thank you Bryan.
Thanks to Aaron and his live stream modeling, I found an engine to power it with. This one actually might be overkill for just a lathe, though.
-
That looks cool.
-
Very impressive engine.

Hello Dave,
i like your lathe and steam engine. The steam engine seams to be a little bit oversized for your lathe.
In former days they had spezial models to fit the needs of small workshops. Here an example hanging on a wall:
I found the drawing some time ago in the internet and started a sketchup drawing. As you can see still wisp (work in slow Progress).
To build a live steam model you find a similar engine here:

Hello Dave,
today i founnd your steam engine at the 3d-warehouse. https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/fece5c92-7dd7-44fc-bd1e-7ae20f04a6b1/TWIN-CYLINDER-HORIZONTAL-STEAM-ENGINE
After some colour/material adjustments i made a quick twilight render.
I hope you like the result.
Greetings from Germany

Looks like a good rendering. It isn't my model of the engine, though.must be one made by someone else.
