The other day I needed to sand the ends of some dowels, and I needed it to be done precisely. So I made this lathe, which worked very well.

Drill-powered lathe: drill side
Drill-powered lathe: adjustable side
And this is why I needed it. The dowels were larger than they were supposed to be. This was Phyllis’ Christmas present, which I just finished this week.
