How it all (re)started



In early April 2010 I built a Shaker lap desk from some leftover cherry from a mantle / surround for the living room gas stove. I needed a small knob for the pullout drawer and figured a lathe would be a versatile additon to the shop for turned furniture components as well as other faceplate and spindle work.



That one little knob re-kindled a passion that I had lost since I was twenty years old.

Hello Bill, thanks for the comment on woodturningblog.

The lap desk is stunning. It would make a nice home for a laptop for anybody wanting to hide the tech and only show the quality furniture.

regards,

Andy
