5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutly Excellent for beginner, 6 April 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Woodturning: A Foundation Course (Paperback)

This is the best book for a beginner as it goes through each step of how to use tools on a lathe. Get the video which goes with it as this again helps the understanding of how to use the lathe

This is an excellent book for the newcomer and as a reference book for the more experienced turner. The reader is encouraged with clear text, photographs and line drawings
