The appeal of woodturning is simple: with only a few hand tools and a lathe, remarkable results can be achieved, including bowls, boxes in the round, lamp bases, and furniture parts. This edition covers topics from the lathe - how it works and how to choose the right model - to fixings, cutting tools, safety, measuring, centerwork, and more.

Revised and updated to embrace the increase and improvement in turning tools and lathes now on the market, this updated and expanded edition of his 1985 classic covers everything from the lathe - how it works and how to choose the right model - to fixings, cutting tools, safety, measuring, centerwork, and more.
