This video shows how you can make remarkable round wooden cylinders using a simple shop-built router lathe. It covers making a hexagonal 'blank', building the lathe plus using it to turn a 4" diameter cylinder for a table leg. I chose to include all three parts of the process in one video to keep the information all in one place but it does make for a LONG tutorial. I'll admit here that I overreached my video production skillset so some of the segments ended up cheesy. My hope is that subscribers will overlook my shortcomings and viewers will learn despite gaffes and distractions.
Here's a picture of the completed table on Pinterest: pinterest.com/pin/551479916864982302

I set up this feature to guide viewers to stuff I like and use. Plus Amazon pays an 'advertising fee' from any sales through these links which helps support Next Level Carpentry so I really appreciate it! Since there's no price difference to the buyer it's a win-win situation :-)
