I think, that I might find a better alternative. Like scrap, granite and cast iron.
In a pinch, make a bow drill style lathe using a branch and a rope.
The thing about concrete in a situation like that, though, is it is relatively easy to make new material for construction. That lathe was designed specifically for people to make when they've got nothing else and get some actual decent accuracy.
Also, flip it on its end and you have a drill press to put that scrap together with.
