Das grosse Buch vom Drechseln

Traditional woodturning . Elaborate workpieces . More than 600 step-by-step photos . Revitalising old techniques More than 600 pictures show step by step how to turn all the workpieces described. The reader can thus follow every step of the process exactly and in no time at all create differently twisted candlesticks, a music stand, a long wooden box, a three-legged stool, salt and pepper shakers, a spice box with a wooden scoop or a bowl with a lid and continuous wood grain. The author also teaches his readers traditional woodturning techniques that are almost no longer used today, thus passing on old knowledge. The book is therefore aimed at advanced woodturners who have mastered the craft in principle and now want to acquire additional knowledge and produce more elaborate workpieces. For example, creating a bowl with a lid and continuous wood grain requires specialised knowledge, as does creating a stool whose legs are turned one after the other but should still look the same.
