Kids Camp Metal Lathe Top

[MillersvilleProf]

For the past several summers (unfortunately not this one) I have been teaching summer kids camps at Millersville. One camp is an introduction to metal turning where I have kids as young as 9 learning to use the metal lathe. We use the LMS 7x16 lathes and this is the project I developed for the camp. It has been a huge success and the kids often finish a couple tops in the week of class. I will post plans for this on the forum if anyone is interested.

That's awesome.
I wish my kids were exposed to more hands on vocational related crafts in school.
