So I finally have my shop where I can at least start doing some work. Haven't turned anything on my lathe since Sept 2021. So I thought I would start off with something small. Got a few catches learning how to hold my tools again. Lol Gonna take some more practice to get use to turning again. My comfort level has slipped some. Well here's my first turning, just a small bottle stopper. Done with acrylic, micro mesh sanding and McQuires plastic X polish.
Definitely not like riding a bike!

I see nothing to indicate any rust with the technique. Very nice.

I find this to be most helpful in understanding catches.

I'm sure that you are glad to back at the lathe, Bobby.
I think that the stopper looks good.
