This video should be included with the purchase of a lathe.

The video includes some non-operation stuff like a short but cool section displaying the engines he built using the lathe, and his impressive homemade mill. But the video is about 90% operations.

Note, this is not a general how to machine video, as in how to machine to specified dimensions, etc, but more of a live demo of how to successfully use this specific lathe. I would advise those folks viewing this who've never run a lathe to contemplate also renting a more general video that covers the other areas needed for successful lathe operation like measurement, safety, etc.

There are some semi-questionable safety moments in this video, for example I would not put my fingers near a running lathe, I'd use a chip brush instead. Maybe its just the angle the filming was done at.
