A practical book for woodturners seeking to improve their basic skills. It features a range of projects that can be turned on a small lathe, thus helping beginners and intermediate woodturners to gain confidence. The author surveys small, inexpensive lathes and looks at suitable chucks for use with them. Projects include domestic items such as a rolling pin, a honey dipper, a small pestle and mortar, a candlestick, an egg cup, a napkin ring and wooden jewellery. Other ideas involve making dolls' house furniture and fittings to one-twelfth scale, including platters, breadboards and bowls, tea service, wine bottle and goblets, a circular table, a stool and circular boxes. David Regester has also written Woodturning Step by Step, Turning Boxes and Spindles and Turning Bowls.
