Well I was at Harbor Freight a few weeks ago with my son and he saw a hobby lathe on sale...so of course we HAD to buy it!
Thus starts a new hobby
Anyway, I had bought a new 24mm silvertip from Whipped Dog, so we picked up some Zebrawood and after a few trial attempts on some pine and red oak to get used to turning, I set out on turning my first handle. I set the knot at 18mm deep so I have a 50mm loft.
I think it turned out pretty good! I have been using it daily for about a month now. LOVE the feel of it!
Have a great day,
Will
