Beginners Woodworking Series

The Lathe Book: A Complete Guide to the Machine and Its Accessories
by Ernie Conover

In this updated edition, experienced woodshop instructor Ernie Conover shows how to choose and set up the proper lathe, and tune and maintain it for the best performance. He outlines basic techniques needed to produce turned furniture parts and suggests quick, practical ways to duplicate parts. Ernie covers all the basics (including some handy jigs). There is even a chapter on sharpening techniques. This is an excellent reference for any woodturner, especially for those just starting out.


Reader's comments:

"Hey...before I read this book I was quite uncertain which way to approach the lathe. After having read it...I consider it "The Bible of Lathe Use".

"...this book sure helps me along and safely."
