A Lesson Plan for Woodturning: Step-by-Step Instructions for Mastering Woodturning Fundamentals

by James Rodgers

A systematic, skill-building instruction manual for all the essential basic woodturning skills, A Lesson Plan for Woodturning allows novice woodturners to master skills without the benefit of formal training. The equivalent of three semester-length classes, the book provides a complete, self-directed course in woodturning safety, tools, and techniques that provide a foundation for mastering more complex tasks. Each lesson is focused on skill development and thoroughly documented with step-by-step instructions, illustrations, and photographs that show the specific positions and cutting maneuvers needed to successfully complete the project. The structure, order, and specific exercises are based on years of classroom-tested experience in teaching woodturning to both adult and younger students.
