Hi Jeffrey,
I make wooden yoyos and I often like to turn hand make gifts for loved ones and friends, not usually yoyos, but rings, tops and other small objects. I like making gifts for people because my time, affections and skill is poured into something tactile for them.
I know you’re a very skilled man and If I remember correctly, I’ve seen a video with you using a lathe. Do you enjoy hand turning gifts for family or friends? What have you made?
