Being a retailer of woodturning machinery ,tools and books means i get to look at all the new publications that come out. Robert chapmans book ranks amongst the best books for turners who are compitent but want to take there hobby to the next level. The work illustrated is of an excellant quality and the author removes some of the mystery of his work. Anyone who reads this book will want to go straight out into their workshop and have a go, an absolute must for all woodturners.

the best yet a must on your shelf.
