Jokaydia Grid Objectives

• Students will learn what a lathe is

• Students will learn about the open source program ROKURO

• Students will create sculpted prims using this program

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.

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

When you upload the file to the Jokaydia Grid, it will look like this.

When you preview the image as a Sculpted Prim it will look like this. You don’t have to worry about it looking squished. You will stretch it out later when it’s on a prim.
