5.0 out of 5 stars New to woodturning?, 10 Mar 2005

By	"Big Ears" (Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews

As a newcomer to the world of woodturning, I had a hundred questions. This book answered them all! It covers all aspects from the machines and their various parts, basic techniques (without becoming a catalogue of projects or too technical), tools (even to the extent of making some of your own!), Safety in the workshop, maintenance (both tools and machine), finishing and finally, most importantly to any "newcomer", a very good glossary of terms.
All in all a very comprehensive, well written book for the newcomer hobbyist. Full of valuable sound advice and information.

3.0 out of 5 stars Misleading Tiltle, 1 Feb 2004

By	"hercflyer" - See all my reviews

I bought this book because of its title - A Complete Guide to the Machine and Its Accessories. The book is far from COMPLETE as it has absolutely no reference whatsoever to metal turning lathes, accessories or practices.

As it pictures a "Wood turning lathe" on the cover and is totally dedicated to the wood turners lathe then the cover title should state the same e.g. "A Complete Guide to the Wood Turning Lathe and Its Accessories"

Getting away from an incorrect title, the books content is very good with plenty of pictures, illustrations and examples of how to operate and use the wood turners lathe.
