I turned a ring “box” on a lathe and my fiancée said “yes!”
I believe congratulations are in order. Getting a good surface finish on a lathe can be really hard, but you did it!
Thank you! The surfacing part was actually done mostly by hand because if a chicken and egg situation of making the inside components and adding the hinge, without throwing things off balance on the lathe. But after four prototypes, I definitely learned a lot!
