Hooked on Turning

Well it’s happened again, I found a new hobby. Wood Turning.

I joined TechShop (coolest place on earth) and took a few intro classes and now they let me go nuts on the machines. I spend most of my time in the woodworking section on the lathe, saw, drill, etc (insert grunt from tool time) but I’ve also messed around with the laser cutter (I suck at graphic design now, working on getting better at that too).

Here’s a few of the things I made so far:
