Workshop.

For our first session in the workshop we began training on a lathe that can turn a block of wood into a cylinder. We started with a block of wood and shaved off the corners so they wouldn't catch of the files used to create the cylinder. We then attached the block onto the machine, which rotates the block at a high enough speed to be able to run a file along the block to chip away at the wood, eventually turning it into a cylinder. We also experimented with different files to carve out sections and round off edges.
