Don't use the lathe tool, use the graphic tool.. Then you can resize it and rotate to the size you want.

To resize, depending on what version (I think), in the menu bar at the top there are 3 buttons, by default on the left side of the menu bar. They are rotate, resize and move. (not in that order).

Click the button you want then, shift click and hold, then move the cursor in the direction of the action. For instance, in resize mode shift click and move the cursor up makes the object larger, move down, smaller.

The "move" gets a little tricky, as you are moving over a "z" plane. You get the same effect as making the object bigger and smaller, but, not really. You are making it become closer or further away from your viewpoint.

This is important because other objects may become obscured, or the object you are acting on may become hidden behind other objects.
