Quick Study5
This book, and a couple others (I bought a set of 3) catapulted my turning abilities from novice to salable in a just a few projects. More importantly, as I improved, I've saved many hours and sheets of sandpaper. His explanations, photos, and diagrams combine to make lathe turning very understandable and even more fun than I expected. Even some of the techniques that gave me some trepidation I now find routine. If you have a lathe or thinking about it, this book and others by the same author (Turning Wood is the basics) are highly beneficial.

Raffan book3
I found the DVD of Raffan to be very helpful and i found the book to be very complex. It is useful and full of alot of information but as a new turner it can be overwhelm...still i perfer the DVD with demonstrations and use the book only for sectional reference......good buy and you may want it with the DVD

Great book in great shape!5
