This is a compilation video about all the modifications I did till the end of 2023 since I started this Youtube channel. I'm also talking a little bit about future plans and projects for this lathe as there is still a lot of things which can be improved.
It is also time to say thanks to all of my viewers, subscribers and especially the patreon supporters!

I hope you enjoy this compilation video.
If you want to stay tuned for further projects and future machining and Mini Lathe content, consider subscribing to my channel. I really do appreciate that.

If you have questions or suggestions on the projects shown here, let me know in the comments. I try to read and reply to all.

Thanks
