It lasted for 1 roll. I have to start over. MAL HECHO! My homemade lathe is rather simple: on one side I have a batery powered drill, and on the other side I have a metal piece that has a very hard iron point attached to it. The whole thing is attached to a workbench. No honest to goodness, only a bit MacGyver.
