Summary |
"Keith Rowley's best-selling introduction to the art of woodturning is exceptional for its friendly and methodical approach, building up the reader's skills and confidence by logical and progressive steps. At the heart of Keith's method are the Laws of Woodturning: six easily memorized rules that are fundamental to efficient and safe technique. Woodturning: A Foundation Course includes step-by-step instructions for 12 simple and attractive projects: goblet, apple and pear, bowl, platter, bar stool, staircase balusters, plinth, inlaid nut bowl, twig pot, pepper mill, table lamp and twist pen. Both between-centres and faceplate turning are described and illustrated in detail, along with boring, routing and finishing techniques. You will learn about timber selection, and how to choose the right tools and equipment. This latest edition has been comprehensively revised and updated by renowned woodturner Andy Coates (cobwebcrafts.co.uk) to include the latest tools and machinery, as well as up-to-date health and safety guidelines." -- Provided by publisher |
