texts: context: proud  <s> What is a lathe, I am not familiar with it
labels: 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.
