She sort of does. She plays peek a boo from behind my laptop if I'm sitting on the lounge while she's zipping around the lounge room in her walker. lol

That hair is fantastic, Ali. I think her eyes resemble you. (Easy to say, since we've never seen a picture of Dazza.)

Yes, she has very fluffy hair at the moment. lol I think her eyes (like max's) are very much like my Mum's, which I guess maybe is where mine come from too.

Ali ... aww, it's so fuzzzzzzy!

Classic ... love the effect of the reflections in the glasses.

Glatt ... concentrate ... concentrate ... (and good use of safety gear!)

Nice looking lathe! Is that an indexing pin on the far side of the stock? (from your son)

You can do fluted columns and legs!

And palm down on the tool. Fingers are for when he's doing the fine stuff after he's roughed out the blank, tell him foot3x said so, he won't listen to his dad.

That is an indexing pin! I know it locks the live spindle head thing in place and there are tons of little notches in the pulley head thing that you can use. I'll have to try it some day.

Thanks for the tip about the palm.

I've seen plans for jigs that are essentially router carriages that ride along the bed, for fluting and adding other decorations.

Turning is one of my all time favorite woodshop activities.
