I have just joined the forum my name is Colin, I am retired and currently live in Spain having retired here from the UK. I have dabbled with electronics since my teenage years and recently found the videos on YouTube and am currently building a Rose Engine lathe for woodturning, my main hobby, using some of the resources on this site for stepper motors and power supply

Welcome. I don't have the slightest idea what Rose Engine lathe is.

If you are interested take a look at this link. There are lots of YT videos of them in operation too.

@sj_h1 Yes but you need to turn the item first on a conventional lathe and then decorate it using the Rose Engine. I have done a write up on my building of it at https://turnspain.com/wp/home-made-rose-engine-lathe/ if you are interested.
