Practice project

[GPA61]

LOML finally started using the lathe I bought for her 2 years ago. This is the first thing she has turned and was mainly for practice. She got so jazzed with the result, she's ready to do more.

This is just a piece of cheap laminated pine I had in the garage, left over stuff. She decided to dress it up with the wood burning tool. That was a first for her too. Has a couple of coats of poly on it.

Looks like it's leaning. That's because it's not sitting on a flat surface. Sorry.

I think I'm in for more expense the next time. She'll want to use the good stuff.

Easy to get them hooked on turning and suddenly they seem to understand the $$$ spent on tools and wood!

Yep, the girls change their minds when the projects are flowing.

btw, I like the wood burning, nice touch.

Looks fine when I shim my monitor

It sounds like an excellent opportunity to be able to buy anything your heart desires now. Take advantage!

Looks like she is off to a great start.

Careful Claudio, you might find your tools moved to the curb and the shop taken over by your wife!

[John Hunter]

That is great!

Nice turning AND woodburning. Keep up the good work, Claudio's LOHL! (We didn't get a name )
