The Lathe enters the shop.

I wanted to try my hands in lathe turning so I found a cheap lathe and started cranking out some turned products. I have yet to make any major projects but have done some playing around and have a few projects to show so far. First I made wine toppers using walnut and a piece of osage orange. Then I put my hands to work trying to make a bowl created from a large chunk of walnut supplied by a friend. After this I wanted to customize my new set of Stanley Sweetheart chisels by turning some handles out of walnut. To this date I have been able to turn 2 handles so far but when I get a chance I will finish turning the handles needed for all my chisels.
