You are invited into my brand new, never-before-seen, one-of-a-kind, truly unique, web site full of good reading, and an eclectic pictorial assortment of turned wood heirlooms, the actual three-dimensional objects of which are fit for purchasing, at the drop of a credit card. My fondest wish is that this web site will be found to be easily navigable, by even elder statesmen (geezers, like me). If you find this to be even slightly skewed from the honest truth, kindly inform me, so that I may ready a company of scouts to address those matters. However, be advised that, just like nearly every single piece of software you've ever purchased, this web site, being new, has a myriad of nit-picky things that may need to be adjusted/changed/re-worded/deleted/forgotten forever, etc. So thank you in advance for your diligence in uncovering obvious correctable issues.

The Lathe-Meister

For the under-initiated, a lathe is an instrument to which you can attach a piece of wood and give it a whirl. Belt driven by a motor, it causes the wood to spin wildly. In fact, that's part of the initiation process. In short order, one learns to appreciate rapid spinning, much more than wild spinning. By applying a sharp tool to the wood, while it is rapidly spinning, usually anywhere from a couple hundred rpm to 3-4,000 rpm, the wood can be shaped into myriad designs.
