The AAW has published the latest edition of Woodturning Fundamentals. This month’s edition includes:
- An explanation by Keith Tompkins of why honing your turning tools after grinding them will give a cleaner cut on your wood and a longer lasting edge.
- Kurt Hertzog’s article on how to choose the right woodturning class
- Part III of Setting Up Your Workstation by Rob Wallace. Rob covers Tool Management and Personal Protection Equipment
- A tutorial and video by John Lucas on making round and square mirrors from scrap wood
- An article by Nick Cook, reprinted from the summer 2001 American Woodturner, on turning bedposts
- A nice video tip from Stuart Batty on using a spindle turning gouge for knocking down the corners of a block
- A well written article by Jim Rogers on the key considerations when designing and building a segmented turning
Woodturning Fundamentals is a nice compliment to the bi-monthly American Woodturner, especially for those of us who are newer turners. This is just one more benefit of membership in the AAW.
