history:  I made a wooden cup with a lathe the other day. That sounds easy, but using a lathe is really difficult! I really like my wooden cup. I've started working with a lathe and I made this wooden cup with it. That doesn't sound like much but using a lathe is so hard! So everything I drink out of it tastes that much better_comma_ haha. What is a lathe_comma_ I am not familiar with it
current: Do you know how you spin clay on a pottery wheel to make rounded shapes? A lathe is sort of the opposite, it rotates a piece of wood and you use instruments to shave or carve out pieces of it. You know those rounded parts of bedstands? That'd be the kind of thing you might use a lathe to make. Or baseball bats, ect.
next: Oh okay, that is interesting, I will need to look into that, sounds awesome to me!
