This is a brief how to for a lathe.

1. Using The Lathe DarronBirgenheier, “Clausing 5912 metalworking lathe” Taken on May 17, 2003 via Flickr, Creative Commons Attribution

3. You can also drill, bore, polish, grind and make threads for projects.

8. Finishing your project Okay, you’re at the final step and when I say “finishing” I don’t mean when you’re done sanding. When you finish your project it means you apply a stain or wax to give it a glossy, shiny surface making the project look 10 times better. When you are applying them you are going to put your lathe to near full speed and apply a wax or stain with a brush or rag. Thank you for reading!
