As a matter of fact, the camera is in france...
Thanks folks for all the kind words. I'll see if I can't find an el cheapo digicam that'll let me get at least some documentation.
The kitchen will be cleaned before my wife returns, if for no other reason than I actually use that room for its intended purpose fairly regularly. I'm planning on hoisting everything into the outboard shed and, until I can construct/obtain a more suitable platform, set up the lathe and grinder on an old 3'x8' folding table. I'm still needing to obtain a drill press of some sort.
In the meantime, though, I'm having a blast with it.

They're rather nasty pics, as I used a $20 cheapo camera to take them. Once I get my camera back from the wife when she returns, I will be sure to gloat most heartily and visually.
The three objects on the table are just practice ditties I did... I'm not sure what the wood is, however if I remember correctly it had small, reddish berry-like things on it last year. It didn't leaf out this year when it was cut down in mid-March. The poor thing had to go---it was interfering both with the shed and with the fenceline.
BTW: Cleaned up the mess in the kitchen so it wouldn't be such trouble to eat.
Once again, sorry about the pic quality, but better ones will come after the start of June!

Well, I do intend to present my wife with the spindles I've turned so far. As far as a bowl or box... All I have to rough out the blanks is a small handsaw, and although that would work, I don't have short enough screws on hand to mount the blank on a faceplate. In the meantime, however, I am having fun! As a matter of fact, I took a moment from reading the posts to turn this little thingy...
Again, please excuse the pitiful photograph. $20 cheapie digicams just don't do the job!
