i did make a lathe to turn a 14" square lump or oak 17 foot long for a water mill shaft, used an i section girder and two landrover axles, i'll dig out the pics somewhere, used a angle grinder with a carving disk running along a steady, to make a perfect cylinder, then sanded it.

I like it - real engineering. My wifes grandad was a self employed woodworker before the war and made up a 'treadal lath' (like an old sewing m/c) with large concrete blocks on the head stock(to hold the momentum) and powered by his three kids all going up and down, while he used he worked the wood.
