Steve tells us about the story behind the present. @Gerald shared an image of some of the "4-in-1" screwdrivers he makes from Harbor Freight parts.

Axminster previews their new smaller lathe Perform PD205WL woodturning Lathe in this video short- Everything Else- Getting back to the vessel of illusion project for attempt number 3. This is first attempt. There was a collar at the top with a small opening. Unfortunately the idiot doing the turning did one more cut and the collar separated. Now it's a vase. The second attempt in somewhere at the bottom of the trash can- The third one is on the lathe awaiting the finish. I have no artistic talent. The opening is very plain. I hope at least to be able to finish the vessel with the inner filler. Safe turning
