Review: Excellent guide - I deferred buying this book because of the previous 2* review, but, new lathe delivery imminent, needed something to get started with. This book seems excellent, providing quite detailed information about a number of projects, from the simple to the complex. The first project in particular provides lots of confidence-building information on making the first tentative cuts on the lathe. Now all I need is to lift the new lathe out of its box ... Review: projects to improve your use of the lathe - excellent, each chapter introduced a technique with a tool build project to demonstrate. I liked the advice on achieving a good finish, a topic often ignored. an great book for someone looking to get really rather proficient as a lathe user, somewhat better than Spary book ## Features - NEXUS SPECIAL INTERESTS - brand: imusti - manufacturer: Special Interest Model Books ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 150,548 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 50 in Metal Work | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 389 Reviews | ## Images ![Lathework - A Complete Course: No. 34 (Workshop Practice Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81gKH8JVGQL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent guide *by D***2 on 17 December 2008* I deferred buying this book because of the previous 2* review, but, new lathe delivery imminent, needed something to get started with.
