is there a tool that would be a minature lathe to do woodworking projects?

I create small shadow boxes. I would like to make small items to go with them. I do make bottles and vases from whittling wood.

You can buy miniture lathes but they are as expensive (or more) than the full size version.

http://www.clisby.com.au have some examples on their web site.

There is a kids’ toy that functions as a small lathe, but at least one company that has lots of "real" micro" tools for model makers and miniaturists, etc., is MicroMark so you might want to check their site:

Similar or used tools like that may be found on e-bay, etc. too.
