!A collection of objects modeled with the spin
tool

The Spin tool is a great tool for modeling objects you might make on a
lathe quickly and easily.

Lathe objects have circular cross sections along a certain axis. That is
to say, when you cut such objects perpendicular to a certain axis
you\'ll get circles. Examples of such objects includes rods, poles,
wineglasses, and pails. A Blender render at the left shows some of
these.

With the Spin tool you only have to \"model\" half the outline of your
object. The object is completed after you spin this outline. A bit of
cleanup here and there and your model is finished.
