Product Description

Product Description
Following on from the success of his 1993 book "Woodturning Wizardry", the author has produced 20 more detailed projects which show how to turn the most extraordinary objects, including faceted boxes, eccentric and oval bowls and Faberge-style eggs. These projects will intrigue every woodturner: the pieces are obviously not impossible, but they certainly are improbable; they look difficult, but with the author's tuition and his secrets disclosed they are within the scope of any hobbyist. The book contains meticulous instructions, photographs and detailed line drawings. Introductory chapters cover woods, tools, jigs and chucks, and also include making your own tools for oval turning, eccentric latticework, facet turning and oval turning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn to make stunning and amazing items on your lathe!, 25 Jan 2001
This book is one of the best in my woodturning library. It is not a "learn to turn from scratch" type of book - far from it, as many of the projects require some quite advanced techniques. There are, however, a large number of quite incredible projects here for the more advanced turner who has got bored of "just bowls". How about turning your own Faberge-style egg, or a goblet with a solid wood arrow through it? There are several puzzle objects, as well as a large section on elliptical turning. David Springett's style comes straight from the classroom (he used to be a teacher), so everything is explained in minute detail. The emphasis is always on making the tools, jigs and chucks needed to do the job. He has based a lot of his ideas on articles and so on from 18th and 19th century volumes on turning - many of the techniques had been lost over the years. I would throughly recommend this book, and his first volume, Woodturning Wizardry. I guarantee it will stretch you, both mentally and physically, and you'll be a better turner afterwards.
