Description

Beginner's Guide to Woodturning by Gordon Stokes. 'Many od our ancient crafts have died out, which is a great pity, and the true craft of woodturning could easily go the same way if it were allowed to do so. There are now very few places where one can go to be taught the correct professional methods, and a regrettable tendency is for the wrong techniques to be taught, partly because the teachers are not professional woodturners, and also because the proper techniques are often thought to be dangerous for a beginner. This is quite wrong, and this book takes the novice from the basic steps of selecting a good lathe and the proper tools, through the shaping and sharpening of the tools, to the various techniques which must be employed if good work and a fine smooth finish are to be achieved.' Ex Library Book with all the usual stamps and markings.
