About this book
New and improved! A skill-building introduction that helps beginning woodturners master basic woodworking techniques on their own.
Written by a professional woodturning instructor with over two decade’s teaching experience, A Lesson Plan for Woodturning, 2nd edition, is a systematic, skill-building introduction that helps beginning woodturners master basic woodworking techniques on their own.
The new and updated 2nd edition provides a complete, self-directed course in woodturning safety, tools, and techniques that will help any beginning woodturner learn the basics on his or her own time. Using methods proven in the classroom, A Lesson Plan for Woodturning provides the equivalent of three semester-length classes in one book.
Designed to give readers a thorough grounding in every essential woodturning technique, this book is systematically organized to teach basic skills that are building blocks for mastering more complex tasks. Each lesson features projects designed to develop the specific skill discussed. The structure, order, and specific exercises are based on classroom-tested experience in teaching woodturning to both adult and younger students and are well-tested in the classroom.
New to the second edition are fresh woodturning projects (including one on pen turning), additional instructional lessons on best practices for beginning turners, and special advice for woodturning teachers who are looking to instruct woodturning beginners.
Each project is thoroughly documented with step-by-step instructions, illustrations, and photographs, showing the specific tasks, positions, and cutting motions needed to successfully complete the project. The projects are simple, direct, and focused on skill development. Readers can easily develop their own similar projects following the same general steps.
