Got a mini-lathe for Christmas last year and needed something to put it on. Hundreds of spinning tops and mushrooms later, I’m pretty sure it was worth it. Here’s a couple other things from my lathe.

My first bow turned out pretty nice I think

    Those are great! I’ve been thinking about building some garage shelves for a while. Are yours attached at the ceiling or ground?

      Wall, into drywall studs near the ceiling. These are so stinking heavy that they have to be empty before I can move them and I have to put a good deal of force into tilting them before gravity will take them the rest of the way down. A heavier child climbing on them like a ladder would likely be the only thing that could accidentally knock these over. Which is coincidentally one of the likelier scenarios.
