It has been a while, at least 4 years, since I have played with a lathe. So, before I begin to start any serious projects, I wanted to freshen my memory.
My first practice project was to make a spinning top out of some steel bar I had laying around (actually it's precision ground rod from my CNC project, unhardened).
Here it is.

And better yet, it works!

The next practice project involved machining a diameter which was at a precise size. So, using a bearing out of my roller blade wheel, I machined a part to fit it on.

| Bearing and mount assembled |
Now that I've got the basics down, time for something more advanced.
