Book Overview

In this tape, you'll learn to select the wood species best suited for a wide variety of turning projects. Raffan shows you how to manipulate skews, gouges and parting tools to produce the whole repertoire of wood-turning cuts, and how to recognize the structural aspects of a project as it develops on the lathe. Raffan also shows you how to sand and apply finishes and waxes, and he offers important safety tips throughout the tape.

The most turning projects in one place ever!

170 pages. Short chapters on many turning ideas with varations. Black and white photos of objects and how-to, and example objects. Many nuggets of information that you can really use. Very short introduction, no general information, really a "project" book. I wish I had found this book sooner, good beginner projects as well as some I won't try for some time yet. Projects: Spurtles (Scottish stirrer), Spatulas, Rollers, Mallets, Outdoor solid decorations (including a mouse), Long & Thin Spindles, Baby rattle, Beads (including puppet), Spheres, Spinning tops (my favorite), Little end-grain bowls, Scoops, Plant Forms, Tall vases, Pepper mills, Cutting boards, Trivets, Bottle Coasters, Trays, Hand mirrors (2 piece, I still like Dick Sing's better), Hollow vessels, Ladles.
