Will do. There's nothing there at the minute. Not sure that I want to buy a cheapish lathe, as I'd only use it for binding. I guees I could always try and knock something up...

I had a thought while I was on my lunch break. As I already have a bench mount for my drill, would it be worth getting 2 lathe centres, 1 for the drill, and 1 to put through a post fixed at the other end of the workbench, so that they are both at the same height?

yeah that can be done. you would need a lathe centre and a lathe drive to make it work but they should be available on ebay

Put the drive in the drill and centre on the post?

yeah. you will have to get a drive small enough to fit in the chuck of the drill

Would I need to get one of the fancy multi-pronged type centres, or jut one with a single point? I should imagine the ones with prongs would hold better, but leave more of a mark in the wood?

you need one of each. the centre point wont drive anything. if you were just hand spining it, it would rotate on that point. in order to machine drive via a motor or a drill you will need a centre drive which grips into the wood and enables the drill to turn it. i use the drive in the end of the handle so it doesnt affect anything if it does cause any marks.

OK. Think I get it now. Will have to have a look around and see what I can put together!
