			I own a mini lathe.  it can do small work but not what your thinking of.  It needs to be a much larger more sturdy machiine.  for example the head spindle bore needs to be much larger than that of a mini lathe.  Save your money and look for a used engine lathe that is being phased out of a vo tech ,school,  or business doing some upgrading or some such thing.  Be aware that your tooling will also require as much thought and cost.  Good luck
