  This provides step-by-step instructions for 24 woodturning projects as well as ideas for dozens more. The projects range from the simple to the complex, but in addition to making useful objects readers are encouraged to build skills in woodturning. Although teaching basic skills is not a primary objective of this book - readers are referred to the author's previous books for that - the extended photographic captions for each project's sequences offer complete and detailed instruction. Projects range from pepper mills to mallets and from spinning tops to rolling pins.
