Like any hobbyist, I started with the funnest part: pulleys. Window shopping told me the pulleys would add up to at least a hundred bucks so I decided to buy a wood lathe for 200 bucks, get creative about "renting" storage space under a table in a basement, and learn how to turn my own pulleys.<ref>I enjoyed Frank Pain's book "Practical Woodturner", and the genre encourages great videos.</ref> First world problems, you could say. But after some learning, my pulleys came out alright! | Like any hobbyist, I started with the funnest part: pulleys.
