Anyone got one and fancy a project?
Or like to let me have a play with one?

I've concluded that the oil press that I bought is a lemon, and I need a new part...

Sorry only do wood. Sometimes wish I had a metal lathe though, very handy.

liking the "poor man's lathe"

There's a piece in Low-tech Magazine about concrete (framed) lathes that were mass produced for ammunitions manufacture.

Lathes come up on ebay cheap enough, but I have nowhere to put it...
