5.0 out of 5 stars The most turning projects in one place ever!, December 29, 1998
By 
lisa@gr.hp.com (Fort Collins, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Turning Projects (Paperback)
170 pages. Short chapters on many turning ideas with varations. Black and white photos of objects and how-to, and example objects. Many nuggets of information that you can really use. Very short introduction, no general information, really a "project" book. I wish I had found this book sooner, good beginner projects as well as some I won't try for some time yet. Projects: Spurtles (Scottish stirrer), Spatulas, Rollers, Mallets, Outdoor solid decorations (including a mouse), Long & Thin Spindles, Baby rattle, Beads (including puppet), Spheres, Spinning tops (my favorite), Little end-grain bowls, Scoops, Plant Forms, Tall vases, Pepper mills, Cutting boards, Trivets, Bottle Coasters, Trays, Hand mirrors (2 piece, I still like Dick Sing's better), Hollow vessels, Ladles.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Turning Projects (Paperback)
I received the book promptly but it was well worn. Still readable, but the binder was coming unglued.I guess used means really used!
