Homemade Oneway Lookalike lathe

Dec 03, 2006 7 Replies

Quite a while ago I saw a website where a guy (with the help of a frind who happens to work in metal fab shop) built a oneway looalike lathe. The process was fairly well documented and described. I was hoping that someone here knew who this was and what the URL of his website is. I had it bookmarked, but a total hard drive meltdown in july took care that. I have been trying different combinations of search terms on Google for the last 45 minutes and have had no luck.



Any help would be appreciated.

Wasn't Tom Plamann's site by chance? It doesn't look just like a Oneway but it is big.

If this isn't the one you had in mind, Tom's site is well worth surfing anyway. This guy does incredible work. RonB

I'm 90% positive it was either Keith Bohn or Joe Johns. I remember the website, and there was some discussion toward the end of the paint color. Does this ring a bell?
