My First Lathe Project!

I've wanted a lathe for years but have never had time to get one or spend the time learning how to use one. I finally got one and have been having a blast. It's so cathartic and peaceful and it feels very organic. Very rewarding! Anyways! I've made a few projects now and I wanted to show you how I made my favorite one. A lidded box!
