Kimmys cracked but still usuable. Whew. The piccys below. But the catch is I think my trouble is just beginning.. They have had fun.
Caitlyn is the one that you can't see the face. Kimmy is the one look at camera because she needed me to hold her tool and her hands to do it. She was bit afraid. But by the end she was going great guns for her age.

So how do you appease SWMBO with the woodchip filled clothes now residing in the laundry basket?

Hate to be a wet blanket and spoil the fun, but, the young lady should wear a hair net when useing the lathe seeing as how the lathe is the same height as her head.

Its not a pretty sight when scalp is ripped off.
Better safe than sorry.

something you put over your hair and it holds it up so its not hanging down and flying everywhere. people have to where them if they have long hair and work with foods, machinery etc.

For the sake of a few cents, it could save a life time of missery.

Ok thanks Al, We did have a safety talk but never crossed my mind her hair. I will ensure it tied back thanks for that. I appreciate it very much. She is too precious to allow anything to happen to that is why they had safety glasses on.

Al

Well done Toni... Get them started a t a young age and keep them at it!!
Turnign is great fun..
Good effort

Good to see the whole family getting into it together! - and a damned nice set of S&P's too I wish my kids were interested but the boys just look at what I make, shrug, and say "Just a piece of wood!". Real encouraging . Hopefully the grandson will get into it later.
