Can anyone give me some websites that could help me do an assignment on the Lathe. My assignments consists of naming tools used for the lathe, describing function of the lathe, describing methods of woodturning ( atleast 3 ) Drawing a schematic diagram of the wood lathe and explain the diffrence between work being cut and work being scraped .... If you can help me you are an absolute champion!!

Oh yeah if i put this post in the wrong place im sorry but im new.
