Take Look Inside!

Make silhouettes, clocks and other decorative pieces. Or, add some imagination for more creative items. Use the star fish or shell designs as place cards at your next dinner gathering. Add an inlayed sea horse to the lid of a jewelry box for an added touch. Create a seasonal welcome sign and decorate it with painted lobsters.

The Fundamentals of Woodturning and Woodturning Methods are the first two books in Mike Darlow's integrated woodturning series. Woodturning Techniques is the third. Its incisive writing is complemented by 40 historical engravings, 400 color photographs, and 90 color diagrams.

This book details scores of techniques. Some are ancient, some are new; some may be familiar, some are little known. Learn how to:
- Make slot-screwed, feather, and paper joints
- Grind your tools to the same angles even as your grinding wheels wear
- Hollow in new ways, and with new tools
- Turn nests of cups and bowls
- Reverse-chuck bowls safely and efficiently
- Thread by hand, and with a variety of tools and devices
- Make jigs to improve your turning's accuracy and efficiency
