Well it seems that lathes have tons of possible uses . I appreciate all of
the fantastic examples! And I appreciate even more than you all managed to
resist making fun of me for asking such a newbie question . Have a good
one!

I was reading another thread mentioning lathes... and which one to buy.
I'm
so new to metalworking (I'm just beginning welding hehe) that I had to go
look up what a lathe even was. I see that it's for
shaping/carving/whatever
metals to make a desired shape... but can anybody provide an example or 2
of
what a lathe is used for? Thanks! Curiousity got the best of me . Happy
Holidays!
