Drehbank und bastelfreude
Entschuldigung das ich hier nicht Deutsch schreibe.
My linguistic shortcomings lead to my comments on this thread being in English.
The thread contains brilliant examples of what can be achieved with metal-turning equipment.
There is very sensible and specific safety advice here. (Not the usual directions-for-use rubbish of "be careful", "not for use in wet environments", "no user-serviceable elements inside" or even "do not eat".) Degrees of difficulty between simply removing material on small pieces and for instance making threads as well as the futility of demanding extreme precision in machining without the corresponding tools to measure progress can be read in this thread.
I happen to have visited Henrys workshop earlier this summer. My impression both from this forum-thread and from watching work in progress is not that he is trying to pass himself off as an all-knowing expert discouraging others. My impression is rather that he seeks to find solutions to practical problems, enjoys doing so and is not afraid of explaining failure as well as sucess.
My conclusion is that this thread might benefit from less attention to whether or not hobbyists are discouraged, and more examples of what can (safely) be achieved with cost-effective tools.

Da ich seit längerer Zeit mal wieder an meiner Drehbank stand und so nebenher nach Durchlesen aller elf Seiten mitbekam, daß ich mit so gar keinem Bild um die Ecke kam - nun also jetzt.
Bei der Drehbank handelt es sich also um eine Ferm MD 350, mit allen schon beschriebenen Vorzügen und Nachteilen.
Meinen erst heute wieder angeforderten Ansprüchen wurde sie wieder vollkommen gerecht; incl. Passungen.
