Woodturning - A fresh approach,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Woodturning A Fresh Approach (Paperback)
Not really fresh as this book has been 'out' for some time but excellent tips, pics and explanations and a 'must have' for any new turner keen to absorb ideas and methods.

Innovative design, excellent execution ...,
By Ralph M.Cox (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Woodturning A Fresh Approach (Paperback)
I am a sometime amateur turner, but due to my work situation, unfortunately I spend much more time reading about turning than turning. Not good. Gotta get that fixed.
So, I've read some of the best (Raffan, Darlow, etc.), but I fould Chapman's book truly inspirational. It includes information on techniques, of course, but in doing so, seemingy inadvertently showcases a wide variety of very, very good design executed very, wery well. More importantly, from my viewpoint, almost all appears to be well within the range of an intermediate turner. Recommended!

A Woodturners view of "Woodturning A Fresh Approach",
By Brian Partridge (Suffolk England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Woodturning A Fresh Approach (Paperback)
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. Brian Partridge (woodturner and Demonstrator)
