Some practice and practical examples of my early lathe work. The spindle shaped piece was my first ever turned piece and ended up as part of a tree ornament. I was surprised to find that it made a beautiful tone when rung.
We also see a pivot burnishing chuck made of brass, a hardening tube made of steel, a barrel closer made of acrylic, and a pair of stepped pyramids in brass and steel.
