Default What can you with a lathe?

If you can't afford to buy it...build it.
I did. Check it out...

It aint pretty, it aint super accurate, but it works for me. I can always
make modifications to make it better.
I'm making bowls, drawer pulls, a dome roof for a bird feeder, a holder for
a magnifying glass.
Also, check out the very latest edition of Shop Notes.
Have fun always.

Way back in middle school the lathe was one of my favorite tools in
shop class. I'd love to own one, but I'm having a difficult time
convncing my wife that I need it. We just made candle holders in shop
class, and while I'm sure it's great for things like table legs,
lamps, and baseball bats I have to concede that I really can't think


Just wait till she suggests that "WE" "need" something (womanspeak for "I
want") then trade it off.
