Save your money

This book has three projects as illustrated on the cover. I do not think it is worth the ten dollars I paid for it. The photography quality is lacking. The detail in the pictures are too dark. It lacks critical details like sizes of some of the projects. This is geared to the beginner but there are many better books available. Some of the problems with this book may be attributed to the publisher. Save your money. Better books for wood turners, anything by Richard Raffan, Ernie Conover
