Whittling...

I turned a bit on Saturday--the kind with the lathe.
I started with a big chunk of wood, made it round-
hollowed out one end of the little piece and then started forming the knob on top
and the lathe started acting up--
the problem with buying old and used is that they are old and used.
I am hoping it is not used up!
Upon checking out the 'parts' I removed, there are several pieces missing.
Little things like washers, or spacers used to keep everything aligned.
I will have to get my husband involved today and hear it, see it 
and most importantly to say, "Yeah, I can fix that!"
