In this video, I use my Roy Underhill design spring pole lathe to make half turned legs for a desk/vanity table. In reality, mine is a bicycle tube bungee lathe. But, whatever!

These desk legs will be for an all hand tools project vanity table for my daughter's birthday. That build project is covered in detail in another series. This video and the disassembling the lathe video round out the using the pole lathe series.
