After years of cursing my inability to make things beyond a certain point usually ending in another cry of "if only I had a ****ing lathe" followed by "and had the faintest idea of how to use it" I have now done the deed and have set up a workshop in my old coal shed. The lathe had sat unused for years in a corner of the workshop at the company I work for and is now in "safe storage" in my shed. Took a fair old clean up and sort out to get it working properly* and has now been used in anger, or at least a mild fit of pique. The picture is of the very first thing I have ever made on a lathe, is only a bit rough, and if I can manage another ten of them I will have a new set of screws for the boot liner! Could take a while.

*at least I think it's working properly!
