I started a new hobby.

Wood turning is fun. We have a tabletop lathe we work with now, making small stuff. I also picked up a full size lathe that I just need to get a motor for and set up in our shop. I usually turn driftwood I pick up, some of the colors have come out amazing.
 
Reclaimed wood is beautiful when some of the rough exterior is removed by turning or sanding. I haven't used a lathe in a very long time, but have done some other woodworking. We just finished building another cabin in Gatlinburg; again we used reclaimed hardwood of different species together for the floors. We think it's nice.

Lathes are fun. I haven't used a wood turning lathe since high school shop, but I've played around a lot with metal lathes.
 
^ Same. Lately I've been wanting to get a potters wheel. A mud lathe.
 
No lathe… yet… but I’ve discovered I really enjoy woodworking. Especially the kind that results in bits of airplane being created.
 
I've got a pen lathe that my FIL gave me...handy for odds and ends that need to be turned. (for the record, my grandsons have a very large collection of turned hammers!) I made an extension for it that I've only used once. Usually it's for making components for other projects rather than being the primary project tool.
 
Used a lathe in high school in one of my shop classes.
