I guess you could swap out the bench grinder for a variable power drill or a pedestal drill mounted sideways. :)

And he's turning with a Carbon Steel Firmer Chisel - well I'll rephrase that shall I - He's scraping ...!
And making bl00dy hard work of it.

Assuming 50 Hz power and slow speed grinder it is turning at around 1400 RPM. Not bad for a spindle.
He could use a little help with technique, but I can't fault the construction of the lathe.
If you have little money but available time, ingenuity, and desire, you can make it work.
