Yeah, I posted some in-progress pics yesterday, biggest lathe job I've had so far - it's used for HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts)

You’re welcome to come test it out on me. I could use a good noggin’ busting today.

Neat :)

I've never messed with hema, it didn't get going until well after my body could do such things. But it's always cool to see gear for it, particularly specific stuff like this
