Hey there everyone,
Its been awhile since I've posted. Let's just say depression was getting the best of me. So I finally got myself a lathe and am slowly getting a shop together.
Here's some things i have been tinkering with. It's not much but I'm pretty proud of it.
The wood is some kind of cedar and black walnut. And some cutting board I cut up.

Funny how medication and therapy did nothing, but make me want to kill myself more.
When the chips are flying not a care in the world.
Don't even matter what I'm making.lol

Car like that probably carbon fiber. Definitely not wood.
Thanks for the kind words @BD9 most definitely fun learning and trying all different techniques.

You’re right!! I couldn’t place that pattern but yes, carbon fiber. :clap:
 
No it is wood guys.

The real point of the project (other than to finally design a car, said Joe Harmon, the guy who built this thing) was to show off the potential of wood as a construction material. The whole thing is built out of flat, layered sections of wood sandwiched together for strength. It may not be a working vehicle, but it's an amazing thought exercise on making a really groundbreaking automobile.
