Assignment
Create a buck using the lathe. Vacuum form plastic around the turned buck. Seal with plastic glue and bondo. Paint with spray primer, paint, and clear coat for a gloss finish.
Notes
This one was fun, I really enjoyed the lathe and the vacuum forming process. Mine ended up a little wobbly but I got a good finish and it's neat that I have my own homemade lamp now.
