### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Excellent Guidance for Beginners
  

*by R***W on Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2021*

The book provided for me, as a novice wood turner, all of the answers that I sought as I started to do some wood turning.  Specifically, safety practices (clearly spelled out in the "Laws of Wood Turning"), tool sharpening, and use of each tool.  It included a video the author's wood turning, which was helpful in actually seeing it done properly and safely.  The author's writing style was a little too wordy at times. I should have consulted the book before purchasing the wood lathe, and tools

### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Key points incomprehensible
  

*by X***Z on Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2020*

I had hoped for a good foundation, but am rather disappointed. While the author may be a good woodturner, he is not a good teacher.- Feathering cut: I still don't know what that means. I read the section on p. 64 multiple times, but cannot figure it out. Googling term does not help either. It is used several times later in the book, but still does not tell me what is meant.- Riding the bevel. Given that movement of tools in in 3D, the contact point of bevel can be from parallel to toolset to at right angle to tool rest. I still don't know in which direction it should be, or whether it changes. This is a critical point I tried to get clarity, but not from this book.- Terms not defined. That is a key omission. For instance, what is heel and toe of a skew? The terms are not used on p. 28 where the tools are illustrated, but suddenly appear in the text. (where was the editor?)- Seems pretty out of date as well. Wolverine sharpening jigs and raptor tool are nowhere mentioned. Maybe that is a US vs UK difference.- I had also been hoping for a bit more practical information, for instance on wood stabilization and how to avoid splitting (alcohol and soap water techniques). No information on that anywhere. I am glad I did not spend the money on the hard cover.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A very good book on my first skim through of the pages
  

*by P***0 on Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2016*

A very good book on my first skim through of the pages. I will normal flip through the pages of a new book to become familiar with it. IMHO it's designed for the beginners crown, which I a proud member. The author keeps my interests.  The chapter on sharpening was informative. IMHO we (woodturners) must get good at sharpening your tools in order to make high quality wood products. The video was a little dry. There's no fancy setup here, expect no bells and whistles. The author is a true Englishman, but I didn't find his writing or speaking difficult to understand. Personally after reading this book and taking from it the most important points, I will be a better wood turner. Hopefully this helps.
