I was looking for a video of the machine that would make shaker pegs, or little wooden mushroom plugs, does anybody know what the name of the machine or provide a link to a video?
looking for the automatic machine not hand turning.

One type is called a back knife lathe. It has a full length knife that moves vertically with a backer on the front of the part to reduce vibration.

I've also seen the lathes that make small parts called variety lathes, and novelty lathes. A minimat 25 is a machine called the novelty lathe. Can't find a videos of these machines.
