5.0 out of 5 stars Vol. 4 of 5 of the Holtzapffel Series on Turning., March 13, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hand or Simple Turning: Principles and Practice (Dover Woodworking) (Paperback)

Actually this series is like detailed apprenticeship instructions on the lathe and is a good background for Ornamental Turning. Although the
books were conceived and written in the 1800s most of the information
is still applicable in the present time.

Incidentally, if you are curious about Ornamental Turning, search the
net for Ornamental Turning or OT. You'll be amazed at the beauty and
ingenuity of the number of people involved in this art. Amazon carries
this book and many others on OT, which there are'nt many of.
