i was hesitant at first but my friend shayna got me to say yes. oh my god i
was shaking the first few times that i had to shape my block of wood on the lathe. it took me at least seven tries to get my pease perfectly round and i was the only one working on my pencil holder so everyone was staring at me and laughing
. i got wood ships everywhere. in my hair, in my shoes, and even down my shirt it was so weird going on the lathe for thte first time and i have to go on next tueasday to make the curves in my pencil holder, this time i'll be ready!
