I have clamped my lathe on a platform, under the drill press. I have turned the drill press head. And I clamped the base to the workbench. And I move this so it doesn't get in the way. Now, when tightening this to hold the drill here, I broke the drill support here. So, to make sure it doesn't move back, I'll have to hold the drill like this.
I just hope it doesn't move to the sides and everything works OK. Then, I have this hole saw in the drill press chuck. And the lathe is, under the hole saw, in a way that the tip of the bit runs into the tip of the centre. Like this the bit is right on the lathe axis. Now, once everything is set, I must move this bit away. Now, I already have this piece of wood in the lathe.
So now I have to turn on both, the drill press and the lathe. And very slowly I move the hole saw down so it carves a wooden ball. And now I have some problems. It looks like the lathe is not making the wood turn correctly. And here I can see the problem I had. At some point the spur centre was not graving the wood correctly. So it began to turn against the wood. And here I have the wooden ball. The hole saw caused a lot of scrapes, but after making it with this odd lathe, I think this wooden ball looks not bad. Now I could sand it until it is smooth, but I won't do that job.
