A Bottle Stopper Weekend (pic heavy)
My folks have a "Group" of neighbors that they hang out with and do dinners and parties and what-nots with. They have been trying to come up with something for Christmas gifts but like to keep the cost down. Well, dad was looking through my PSI catalog and he saw the "stoppers".
We ordered the 10 stopper (BS1) starter package that comes with the drill bit and the chuck, found a weekend that worked for us and got to work. These are his first projects on a lathe since his High School Shop Class. We had a good time, made a ton of dust, and learned a lot about how not use a detail gouge
. (It is not as easy as they make it look on the Youtube vids...)
Dad's first time back on the lathe
