Tool Handle – Ideal for the First Lathe
The lathe is a very cool tool, but it’s also a pretty intimidating lathe. YouTuber I Like to Make Stuff decides to learn the basics of using his new machine by making a tool handle.
This project is clearly for beginners, and I Like to Make Stuff’s Bob learns while making the video, which means you can see some things through trial and error when he knows exactly what to do. It might sound annoying, but it’s pretty rewarding since his problem-solving skills are probably pretty close to yours as a beginner. Anyway, a tool handle is a quick and cheap way to learn how to use a machine that is a little scary to look at.
