Attacking the lathe

I finally got a lathe and had some fun messing around with an oak dowel rod...




I am having a hard time with this tool... it erratically jumps when I try to cut with it... :(  Cue jagged toothed metal monster pouncing on my face. (so yeah, safety masks are great!)


I hope I can find some brass rods and knobs to use with this.... you'll see what it'll be when it's done.  Hopefully that will be before I leave though I haven't been able to find the brass bits yet.  I did buy some sweet crackle paint to use with the wood though :)
