Yep, exactly.

I've got no formal training on any of this stuff. I only did one year of metal work at high school and we never even touched any machine tools. A few years back I just bought an old lathe and started having a go. There's a ton of info out there these days. Videos on youtube that show you all the techniques etc. I reckon it's a heap of fun making stuff on the lathe.

You can pick up a half decent Lathe for $1500 and with a bit of patience and thought you would be surprised what you can make.

Cheers
