Lathe and standalone deformation 2004-05-14 - By Anthony Ware

Emmanuel,
No, you can't. The lathe tool is only applicable to faces - not vertices,
edges or whole objects. Only deform primitives can be used as standalone
deformation objects as they are a special case object to tS and unlike
regular primitives.
I'd use a standalone deformation pipe, increase the lattice resolution then
edit the cross sections into shape and position. It will still be tricky to
make a path for the deformed object to follow the deform object, though.
If you didn't need a deformation object, a useful 'shell' generator would be
to download spiralizer from here:
