Bought this book to get started turning again after over 50 yrs without a lathe, I knew from the introduction it was for me, just how I started out in life and with the same attitude. It's easy reading with very practical way of explaining the art of turning I've enjoyed it so much, now enjoying my hobby and still leaning from the book wonderful author thank you. Highly recommended.

This book was recommended to myself by two master craftsmen in the same day, one of whom had actually been fortunate enough to have met Keith Rowley some years ago. Both are incredible at what they do, turning wood, and both had read this book many times. I'm slowly working my through, learning by practice from what the book describes. The manner in which the book describes everything is simple, straightforward, detailed and so easy to understand. Understanding Wood itself, the way to sharpen chisels and, so far, the different chisels and uses for each. As somebody who is developing a small business working with wood in all manners, this book is now priceless to my development. Mr Rowley surely is an incredibly talented individual but his skills are equalled by his way to be able share this with others, An absolute must for anybody who wants to start out in turning but also for those who already have but are finding things a bit challenging. Read the book, stick to what it says and wont go far wrong.Read full review

The book is very comprehensive reference for both experienced and amateur woodturners alike. Plenty of good photographs. Only downside was that this copy did not come with the associated dvd. Currently unable to obtain dvd separately. Would recommend purchasing book and dvd together…
