I did.

It's pointless.

You'll spend months if not years on fabricating / aligning / etc. To make something decent you have to have free access to a milling machine and a lathe.

At the end after spending many month you'll get a shitty lathe, not that rigid even if comparing to cheap chinese stuff (enjoy your chatter). Not to mention you can just get a used one which will be infinitely better than DIY one.

BTW having free access to a milling machine and a lathe you can just make extra $$$ and then buy a lathe.
