I made a thing! It is, according to the teacher, the best lidded box I have ever made, using lacewood that was a tiny bit warped.
My second time using a #lathe and my technique was better than last time. Also I remembered to put on gloves before handling the shellac.
The lid is a loose fit, it's not perfect, but it is mine and I made it. Also the lid is cat-proof as long as they don't knock the whole shebang off the surface.
