Lathes and Lago

So here's the great news: I'm going to Italy!!!!!!!

You see there's this cool Italian furniture designer Lago, and they've got a unique design workshop that they run every summer called Lagostudio. You send in a portfolio and if you're lucky enough to be selected you get to go design some things with nine other creative people from all over the world at the Lago mansion near Venice. I'm excited!!!!!!!!!!

In other good news my dad had dropped me off an old lathe a couple weeks ago. I finally got around to get it running and I'm looking forward to learn about wood turning

The first test project on the lathe was a small handle for a prototype piano tuner I'm working on. It turned out pretty well!
