Woodturners....

While at the A&P show in the weekend I was watching a demo of the Woodturners group ... This guy is making a childs Spinning top... and doing a very fine job ..
His mate was looking on and giving him a bit of ribbing that he had better smile for the camera ... He was smiling away ... didn't have the heart to tell him I was only getting a shot of his fingers...

So cool! Great capture; and I've always wanted a lathe (who doesn't, right?).
