Im not even gonna try to beat around the bush here it is..
Ok before you start giggleing and congratulating me on my doctorate degree in dumb let me explain, when you grow up poor in the south you tend have this voice in the back of your head that goes "Now why in the fuck would I buy it when I can make it for free" (notice how safety is of no concern to this voice)
The Inner Mechanics Of Stupidity Chapter 1(because you know theres gonna be more chapters)
So my dad got this really old drillpress from somewhere( didnt ask where strike 1) so it can pretty much go in any direction you want it to (even the dangerous ones strike 2) so by putting it at 90 degrees to the floor and raising the base plate I was able to mount a piece of wood to use as my tool rest (made that word up strike 3 I've been out of the game for a while now tbh)and by mounting a piece of wood into the grip of the drill I had a makeshift lathe up and running!
To celebrate my accomplishment I set out on trying to make something with it ( emphasis on the trying part) after standing there with chisel and sandpaper in hand for about 30 minutes I can now present to you.. .... the leg of a table for a dollhouse. Have A Wonderful Day!
