Our new tool

Here is a tool and a half!  It weighs a ton! (not quite,but it's pretty heavy) 
My other half and I decided that it was time he had a decent piece of machinery to work on. 
So, yesterday we went and bought - not one, but two brand spanking new lathes (the machine you turn wood on). 
One of them did weigh a ton and it is downstairs in his workshop - or is it a cave?, but this is a little mini one which is currently upstairs and I have been having a go. 
Don't worry guys, I will not br giving up fibre art, I just want to be able to make pretty handles for my sewing tools and lace making bobbins, and beads, and maybe some other bits and pieces.......
