My First From The Lathe, The Woods Flying
Decided to try out the lathe today to see what it was like. I did not have any pre planed design just wanted to get the feel. I need to learn how to lay out the holes and stuff, this was just a guess.
This is what came out.

good start there Vince
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

He didn't step all over the thread, he just liked the shirt

Thanks for the trick with the pipe cleaner. I used my compressor at 125 psi to clean it out, stuff came out like a rocket. LOL

As for warming it up, I sat it by the fire place for a few minuets is that ok? What would you suggest for heating.

Lathe center should be about elbow high for best results. If that lathe grabs your chisel it will take off like a rocket .......

Oh Man, now yer screwed. No turning back. First its turning every scrap of wood in sight(Honey!!? Do we really need that chair??). Then No sleep thinking of this shape and that, this color, weight here, weight there etc. etc.. Then since maybe your wife leaves for work after you do, you secretly call in sick, shower, get dressed, make like your leaving for work, stop and get coffee, hit the tackle supply, go back home when your sure she's gone for work, and putz around with wood and paint and stuff, clean up before she gets home. She'll never know. Um, no, I never did that!
seriously,Nice looking plug, looks like you got it down well. Wish my first few looked that good. Another suggestion, some type of respirator or HEPA mask would be a good idea. lotsa dust flying around , especially when sanding on the lathe. And how did ya stay so clean?? My wife comes out to my cave once in a while to make sure I didn't get lost in the pile of sawdust, she calls me "CedarStein".
Last Cast, No, Really!

Your first attempt looks good!
One suggestion; get a full face shield and wear a respirator! It's cheap insurance.

Painted, rigged and ready for the top coat. I recessed the bottom grommets, it looks a little nicer. All done with rattle cans
