Weekend Woodturning Projects: 25 Simple Projects for the Home Paperback – October 28, 2014

The 25 quick projects range from simple to moderately difficult. With good instructions and clear illustrations this is a good resource for beginning turners - and for more experienced turners who are trying to brush up on their skills. (A word of caution, much of the text is in relatively small type (looks like 6pt). Not a problem for most people but something to be aware of.)

My son really likes this book. There are so many quick ideas he has plans to try.

This is one of two books edited by Mark Baker, who was editor of the UK magazine Woodturning until his recent death. He has assembled 25 different projects... some quick and easy, and others a bit more challenging. For each project there are dimensioned cross section diagrams, tool and materials lists, and step-by-step procedures for mounting and turning.I bought this book, along with "30-Minute Woodturning" also by Mark Baker, to get some project ideas for the Youth Woodworking program that I teach. These books have many projects that are appropriate for the beginner turners in the program. (Other projects in these books are perfect for my own uses!)I would recommend either of these books for turners of all experience levels... there should be something of interest to any turner.

So far this book has been great!I have 0 experience for this book. I can’t wait to turn and learn!

this book is clear, has great illustrations and is very instructive. While most of the projects are not to complex, they do offer great practice opportunities and lead to more and more complex ideas being used as your proficiency increases.

Great projects for someone who is just beginning to turn or even someone who has been turning for a short time and needs extra ideas for projects.

Purchased this book as a gift and the recipient loved it! He was very excited about the number of projects included in the book that he could attempt.

Very good Illustrations and very good ideas
