Like all good woodturning books this one offers something for both the novice and the experienced woodturner, although it is of most benefit to the former. If you are new to woodturning and considering buying a lathe, this book could be a good investment. The opening chapters cover choosing a lathe and selecting tools and accessories. Basic and advanced woodturning techniques are covered, and a chapter on lathe jigs and fixtures provides tips on making a tool rest and dovetail-routing jig. Turning methods are outlined for several projects including a mallet, pens and a platter.
