It was another great week spent woodturning, this time with my son. He got a chance to come home last week and this gave us the opportunity for a bit more shop time. Instead of making boxes and jigs like we did last time<\/a>, he wanted to try his hand at the lathe. I was happy to oblige. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Now, this isn’t just a proud father speaking (well, really it is \ud83d\ude42 ) but he took to turning like a duck to water. It’s fascinating how quickly the young can adapt to new things. With very little instruction he was well on his way. It really p**sed me off! LOL! Seriously, we had a wonderful time and he did a great job.<\/p>\n

Over the week, in between visits with family and friends, a bit of hiking, a day spent surfing and of course, time spent with his Mom \ud83d\ude09 he was able to complete four different projects. He first did a bowl, then a paper towel holder, then a pen and finally a vessel for his pocket change. <\/p>\n

Here’s a few photos of the individual pieces:<\/p>\n


\nThis is the bowl that he turned out of a piece of Birch. It measures about 7″ in diameter and an 1 1\/2″ tall:<\/p>\n

This is the paper towel holder. It is made of Ash and stands about 13″ tall. The base is about 5″ round. It’s been accented with wire burns:<\/p>\n

The pen is a European Roundtop and it’s made of Cocobolo:<\/p>\n

The change cup is about 4″ tall, 3″ in diameter and made of Maple:<\/p>\n

I believe that his interest was peaked. My fingers are crossed that the next time I visit him there will be a lathe in his shop\u2026 no, not so that I can play on it while I’m out there… so that he can teach me a thing or two! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Oh, by the way, since my wife has been wanting a paper towel holder for some time she now sees no reason why I can’t make her one\u2026 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
