The most turning projects in one place ever!

170 pages. Short chapters on many turning ideas with varations. Black and white photos of objects and how-to, and example objects. Many nuggets of information that you can really use. Very short introduction, no general information, really a "project" book. I wish I had found this book sooner, good beginner projects as well as some I won't try for some time yet. Projects: Spurtles (Scottish stirrer), Spatulas, Rollers, Mallets, Outdoor solid decorations (including a mouse), Long & Thin Spindles, Baby rattle, Beads (including puppet), Spheres, Spinning tops (my favorite), Little end-grain bowls, Scoops, Plant Forms, Tall vases, Pepper mills, Cutting boards, Trivets, Bottle Coasters, Trays, Hand mirrors (2 piece, I still like Dick Sing's better), Hollow vessels, Ladles.
