So here's my suggestion (I've only been married for three years.  But I'm 
37, so I'm working at a disadvantage to some of the other folks 
responding... :-)...

Anyway, instead of making her something with the lathe (which is nice, 
don't get me wrong), learn to use it _with_ her.  Take a class together, 
work on stuff together, or whatever. (If, of course, she wants to do it).

If she's never turned a screwdriver, that might mean that you'll be 
spending way more time going slower than you want to, but you might have 
fun teaching the super basics and seeing a totally fresh viewpoint.

Mark
