Wood truning bookd

Mark,

Keith Rowley's "Woodturning: A Foundation Course" (new edition) is a book that's often recommended and it is one of the best in my opinion. Apparently there's also a video of the first edition, which I cannot comment on since I've never seen it.

In the UK these are published by "Guild of Master Craftsman Publications".

My recommendations:

_The Practical Woodturner_ , by Frank Pain is about the best for turning theory, not practice. Lots of people have color-illustrated books on their practices which neglect theory.

He's a COB (Crotchety Old Bodger), but he'll get you thinking of how an edge cuts wood.

I'll second the recommendation for the Rowley book. I also have the video. While I think that Raffan's videos are better produced etc., Rowley's video is a must have for basics and safety.

Hi Mark

I have several wood turning books, but my favorite one is "Turning Wood" by Richard Raffan Lee Valley carries it and several other mail order places do too.

Have fun and take care Leo Van Der Loo

If you can handle reading online, I got a lot out of this site:
