What can you with a lathe?
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 of any practical uses for it since I don't have any need to make any of those things. Actually making a homemade baseball bat would be kind of neat but it's tough to justify buying a lathe just for that. If you can help me convince my wife (and myself for that matter) of the usefulness of a lathe I'll be eternally grateful. |
