2.0 out of 5 stars Not so complete, 15 Jul 2008
By SmartyBoy "Steve" (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews
Despite claiming to be "A Complete Course" and stating "This book assumes no previous experience", this book is somewhat lacking in basic detail for the beginner. Emphasis is placed more on learning through practical experience in the form of twelve projects rather than providing the reader with even some pretty important background detail. The projects are adequately explained and liberally sprinkled with photographs, but again lack some of the finer detail that would benefit the novice lathe user.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide, 17 Dec 2008
By daibach142 (Chester, UK) - See all my reviews
I deferred buying this book because of the previous 2* review, but, new lathe delivery imminent, needed something to get started with. This book seems excellent, providing quite detailed information about a number of projects, from the simple to the complex. The first project in particular provides lots of confidence-building information on making the first tentative cuts on the lathe. Now all I need is to lift the new lathe out of its box ...
