2. A lathe is a machine that holds a piece of
wood in a horizontal position. It spins the
wood and various wood tools are used to cut
into the spinning wood to create curves and
grooves.
Early lathes were spun by using a foot pedal,
but most now are electric.

3. The earliest known lathe was found in Egypt
One person would turn the wood work piece with a rope
while the other used a sharp tool to cut shapes in the wood
