In a little over 100 pages this book takes the reader through the basics of woodturning in a methodical, thorough and concise manner. Safety procedures are well presented (and practical), the material lists are neatly laid out and the projects are simple yet elegant. This is the work of an experienced and clear headed woodturner.The illustrations are superb, the editing is uncompromising (rare indeed nowadays). Altogether it is a remarkable book for
Most excellent book!!!, gives comprehensive directions and lots of clear color photos along with straightforward text. An excellent book for the beginner as well. Gives a variety of projects so that you become familiar with the tools and techniques required for each type of turning you will want to do. Gives the beginner (Like Me) a good idea how to tackle each type of project. Even covers green wood turning and the principles of how the wood moves as it dries. Found it very interesting and easy to understand the principles conveyed between the covers.
This is a excellent book for the person getting involved in woodturning/lathe work. The book covers equipment, equipment care, time saving tips, finishing techniques, and several projects. The project sections have easy to follow instructions which help you to complete the project with a very successful outcome. The illustrations match up nicely with the sections, and the color pictures get the point across with clarity. Highly recommended!
A basic intro to wood turning (just what I need) but it helps explain "how to" for us with little or no experience. It covers everything I wanted, from how to choose chisels, how to sharpen them, how to use the lathe machine, and even how to stand and grip the chisel. I'm really glad I bought this book.
Also bought this for my son and he said it is priceless! A much needed guideline for beginners and he loved the colored pictures that show what the wood should look like while following the instructions.
Basic Woodturning. Give the basic tools and projects to get you started. Good information and hints that will help the beginner. Pictures are excellent.
This book provides a wonderful turning progression to start you from your first day with your lathe through a strong general competence.
Informative and well illustrated. Just about right to get you started on many simple methods of turning wood on a lathe.
