As reviewed by AWR:
Artistic genius must be supported by technical knowledge. If you can't mount the wood on the lathe you can't turn it. And that's how this book came about. With a PhD in physics Green is able to research, evaluate and deliver in plain words and with excellent photographs. Chucks, faceplates, mandrels, vacuum systems and rest are all covered. There are also numerous shop projects to make as well as some simple projects to develop technique. An awesome reference for any woodturner or club.
