This is my daughter, Victoria, turning her first bowl while home on Christmas break from University in Seattle. She has a natural delicate touch with a bowl gouge that required very little sanding. I love the chips all over her.

I'm sure that brought a nice warm fuzzy feeling to you. It is wonderful when our kids take an interest in something we are interested in. I hope she can persue the "Hobby" at school.

Always great to hear when families share the fun of turning!

That's a great thing Don. I just got sucked into the vortex and gave my first pen to my daughter. Now she wants to turn her own. Im a little reluctent to let her try untill I get some proper instruction myshelf. I don't want to teach her any bad habits.Originally Posted by Donald Price

Send her back with a mini. She might be able to pay tuition with her profits!

Or spend all that tuition on chucks, tools, wood, a bigger lathe . . .

Looks like she was having fun! One question.... I noticed your daughter was wearing gloves, but I was told not to wear gloves (esp loose work gloves) when using power tools- especially those w/ rotation. Has anyone else heard this, or was the person who told me this being overly cautious?
Contributor
Life just doesn't get better!!
Heather, over cautious in my opinion. Just remember you have gloves on and don't touch the spinning object. Considering she is just handling the tools then she should be ok. Besides, she doesn't need caloused hands like the majority of us men have. Wear'em if you gott'em!!

Hello,
I have a 17 year old son who has been deep in the vortex for 3 years already. Sounds like a perfect math for him!!!!! It's a great thing to be able to share your passion with one of your children.

I wear tight gloves with a flexible resin coated palm side. I find that they dampen some of the vibrations that are transfered into your hands and reduce some of the muscle fatigue associated with turning.
Another one is sucked into the vortex! Can you hear it swirling?....
