Who among us has not been a diverter? I'm the one this time.
I think that your game would be great for breaking the ice and making
new friends wherever groups of turners congregate. A fun and not
confrontational way to subject web-based info (or misinfo) to comparison
with tested turning techniques.
In addition to smaller lathes and baskets. What about the team being
given a small green log to make shavings on a pole or crank wheel type
lathe powered by kids? Easily broken down and moved, cheap, safe,
unusual, non-electric, rain safe, etc.
May not be great ideas, but my half-ass suggestions beat my half-wit
comments.

Arch:
I think that we have a book idea here. Lathe projects where the object
is something other than making a bowl, hollow form, spindle, etc.
Heck -- sometimes we start out making a bowl and end up with a very
large napkin ring instead. Maybe that sort of thing should be included
as well?
