Off to Toronto on Friday morning for a lindy hop workshop. If you have any good recommendations for things to do there, tell me.

In the meantime, I’m building a handle to go on the leadscrew on the lathe – it’ll make long cuts a lot smoother (because I’ll be able to move the carriage slower & more smoothly). The four jaw chuck backplate should also get finished this week, so by the time I get back from Toronto, I’ll be pretty well outfitted. Any ideas for a good first project? I’ll probably end up building a simple steam engine unless something better comes to mind.
