Woodturning A Fresh Approach (Woodturning)

Summary: A Woodturners view of "Woodturning A Fresh Approach"
Review: This book has something for all levels of woodturner from beginner to expert. Robert has used a large number of very good photographs to illustrate his approach to woodturning and together with some thought provoking text he will inspire most hobby turners to try new projects or alternative ways of doing the job. The illustrations are so good that for those turners too busy to settle down and read all the text most of the messages will come over load and clear.

Roberts technique for hollow forms is refreshingly simple. He achieves very effective results without resorting to expensive tools and his way of supporting the hollowing tool is simple and cheap to implement.

The Illustrations of his finished items are stunning and should give inspiration to all but the most expert gallery turners.

I do not buy many woodturning books these days but this one I already prize.
