5.0 out of 5 stars excellent book!, 10 Feb 1999
By A Customer
Raffan's book is excellent! There is also a video that is available that gives footnotes to pages in the book. I have been turning for a year and a half and I was given a copy of the video and I later purchased the book. It has helped me greatly as I study it. He covers sharpening, turning spindles, bowls, boxes and making other round things.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good and clear advice, 20 Mar 2001
By bob@hughsym.co.uk (Southern England) - See all my reviews
For someone with a little experience this book provides a lot of information with clear diagrams. However I was a little disappointed that there was not more technical information on the timber and lathes, particularly for the hobbyist. Most disappointing was the lack of resource section. Perhaps this allows for further books....!! In any event a thought provoker and a standard to aim for.
