"An easy-to-access, photographic guide to the essential techniques for learning closed segmented, open segmented, and ornamental segmented turning. Also, includes 10 projects for both new and advanced segmented turners"--
This book is designed for the beginning wood turners ready to take up the challenge of turning segmented bowls and platters. Each step of the process is explained in both straightforward instructions and over 200 clear color photos and patterns. The hallmark of a segmented bowl is the design incorporated into the body. While these designs appear to be complicated and difficult to make, this book simplifies the process. Key to making these apparently complex designs is using a combination of different wood colors and varying lengths and segment alignments. The problem of cutting the segments accurately is also solved with instructions for making simple fixtures for your table saw that cut segments with enough precision to avoid complicated sanding and fitting. Using the methods described here, wood turners will successfully create segmented salad bowls, decorator bowls, and serving platters. While written with the beginner in mind, this book is a must for all wood turners.
Take your lathe work outside the box and learn how to turn beautiful wooden lamps made from an infinite array of segments assembled from small pieces of wood. From fundamental skills to advanced, Ralph Buckland takes you through the techniques required for completing seventeen stunning segmented lamp projects with photos and detailed diagrams that show exact dimensions for segments, thicknesses, and ring diameters. Learn how to build each lamp starting with the first ring, moving on to different types of rings, and finishing and wiring the lamp. In addition to the projects, this guide covers special techniques, tips, and materials, such as rope, rock, inlace, and exotic woods. Buckland even provides detailed diagrams and schematics that outline various numbers of segments and ring diameters for designing your own lamp. This is an ideal and unique wood turning guide for the intermediate to advanced woodworker.
Where does a design idea come from? And what does it take to bring it to life? This invaluable design reference for new and advanced woodturners alike answers these questions and more. In Woodturning Design, author Derek Hayes takes turners step by step through the process of design, beginning with basic principles and then moving into proportion, pattern, and form. He also addresses working with different woods, color, and decoration. Hundreds of instructional photographs and illustrations will assist readers at every turn. Although many crafters can follow clearly illustrated instructions to achieve a desired result, they struggle with adapting the design to become uniquely their own. This practical yet inspirational book will motivate turners to take what they learn here and transform wood in new and different ways.
With over 500 designs, this book aims to broaden the range of techniques, equipment and materials used by woodturners. The book also looks at safety in the workshop, types of timber available, finishing off the product, and shapes and techniques including lidded containers, candlesticks, bowls, vases, chess sets, pestles and mortars, salt and pepper pots and jugs.
Fifty projects, showcasing an incredible richness of shapes and styles, will appeal to turners who have mastered the basics and long to expand their range of techniques. Among the highlights: graceful teardrop, Japanese lantern, skep or beehive, onion-top, and Mosque boxes. Each design comes with a working drawing (usually full-size) and color photographs. Bonus: a gallery of works by leading turners.
