G'day everyone,

I have been working on this years major project, and it has been taking longer than expected. I was planning on releasing part one this week, but a few things got in the day so I have decided to delay it a week, rather than try and rush it.

So I had a good thought about what projects I would recommend to someone who is getting started with lathe-ing. Somewhat difficult because we pick things up at a different rate, but I have a short list of projects I think would be a good fit. Most of them revolve around lathe tools, which is good because once you are finished you get a tool that you will actually use.

If you think that I have missed a good project let me know in the comments. Cheers
