We can assure that is not at all the case! All the lathe does is hold the piece and spin, just as the potting wheel holds the clay, spins, but does not make the pot. So too, the lathe does not make the bowl. The lathe simply turns and the craftsman makes the bowl. Stay tuned for more in the days and months ahead.

Nothing wrong with that, all tools, instruments and advances in technology can be put to good use by loving hands! Lovely bowls made with industrious dedication – and a lot of joy in making them!

No hard feelings :-) Aloha, Lathe, you look very industriuos, very efficient and very smart, but I still like it more, when the monks, use their benevolent prana and make the bolws, with their hands.
