5.0 out of 5 stars
How to turn the impossible into the practical!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Woodturning Wizardry (Paperback)
Excellent book. Shows how to turn incredibly complex
pieces, and how to make the tools used. Very British
in that regard, as well as the woods chosen for the
projects. This book also teaches a new way of looking
at woodturning, to wit; make the tool to fit the job, not
vice-versa.
Recommended!

A wizard of a book.,
This review is from: Woodturning Wizardry (Paperback)
This book will raise your turning to a new level, but not for the reasons you think. Yes, the projects are fascinating and the instructions clear. But it is learning the techniques to make these projects that will open whole new levels of design and creativity.
I found the early chapters on making special purpose tools and jigs particularly useful and confidence building. The projects themselves are of the "Wow, how did you do that?" variety including the Chinese balls-within-balls, cube inside ball and arrow through the glass to name just a few. Each project is precisely discribed with excellent photographs and drawings. The step-by-step instructions are clear and comprehensive. These are not projects for the novice turner but can be easily handled by anyone with a good grasp of basic turning skills. By mastering the techniques in this excellent book you will become more self-reliant and creative in your turning.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great ideas on fixture building,
This review is from: Woodturning Wizardry (Paperback)
David Springett has done a very good job of mixing tool and fixture building with full project details. Even though I may not try all the complete projects in the book, I did glean good information on fixtures building that I will utilize now. I especially liked the radius turning fixture and hollowing tools. I tend to buy woodturning books for technical information and inspiration rather than project ideas for myself. I have already used some of the techniques on my lidded boxes. I would recommend this book to any woodturner as an asset to their library.
