The wood lathe is one of the unique shop tools that allows you to produce a completed object using basically only one power tool. However, as most modern woodturners will tell you (especially if their significant other is within earshot), you need a lot of other tools in order to be a "complete" woodturner. It is very satisfying and great therapy to have long streams of shavings coming off a piece that is being turned- it beats going to a psychiatrist to get your head adjusted! Also, a great deal of the work now being done in woodturning involves carving, painting, decorating, etc. with tools other than the lathe.
