Kaden's Band Teacher helped him tremendously during his four years in High School. He wanted to thank her for teaching and mentoring him. To do so, he wanted to make her a handmade baton.

So, he came over and we made not on but... four!

Along the way, he learned that he was quite adept at turning wood on the lathe. He did so using the Shopsmith Late Duplicator.

This is the first of two videos showing how he made them.
