Model Making Materials

Woodturning Wizardry by David Springett

Originally published in 1993, this revised edition includes colour photography throughout and stunning new 3-D illustrations show cutaway views of the work in progress.

Projects described in detail include:

• Arrow through bottle
• Lattice-lidded boxes
• Lattice pomander
• Singapore ball
• Spike star in sphere or cube
• Captive cube in sphere
• Lidded box in sphere
• Chinese balls
• Chinese rings
• Pierced sphere
• Interlock sphere

Spheres within spheres, stars within cubes, delicate lattices with no apparent means of support - woodturners over the centuries have developed a whole range of extraordinary structures which seem at first sight to be quite impossible.

In fact, all of these things can be made by anyone with basic woodturning skills, an ordinary lathe and simple hand tools - and this book shows you how.

Paperback: 192 pages, 374 colour photographs.
