Lathe work to occupy my sober time today

I wanted a wood version of the shift knob I had so I can custom paint it. Haven’t turned anything on a lathe in over 20 years…I think it turned out pretty good.

Fancy. What color you gonna paint it?

I’m thinking a shade of red. I kind of have a black and red thing going with the car already

My bestie and I just had our first beginner wood turning class yesterday! It was awesome! I’ve been wanting to try it ever since I started watching YouTube videos of wood turning because they’re soothing to watch with the sound off. :joy:

Wow, very cool! Looking forward to finished product reveal!!

I bet lathe work is meditative, you must have to be 100% committed to the now.
