 Nice job, looks like you've worked a lathe before. There is no end to the possibilities, you will never look at a pile of fire wood the same again and every rack you see you will be trying to figure out out to get the most tips out of it.

Looks like you did a nice job. A nice job of cleaning up after using the lathe as my work area looks like a saw mill floor after i'm done turning. Keep up the good work and have fun.  Gary

I doubt that you'll have to look for projects, they'll just seem to show up. You're gonna love it.

That's a really neat ball bag.  I've already started drawing out a pattern for a ball bag; the first one for me.  What did you use to wrap the plug end with?

i used 1/2" rawhide that i soaked untill soft (overnight) and then streached between my hands.
