hello,

there are a new video of SB performing a demo in Front Range Woodturners, and clearly the book isnt a favorite of Stuart. "this book is garbage".

I remember to find very interesting and useful, for example, explains the negative rake scrapers, in the 50's. What do you think about?

I’ve had that book for years, looks like the same or a similar edition. I think it is fascinating. I have some other old books and it’s fun to look at how much things have changed and what has stayed the same over time!

BTW, the two best books I’ve found for practical woodturning are Richard Raffan’s “Turning Wood” and Mike Darlow’s “Fundamentals of Woodturning”. I learned much from those two books, I thing better than a series of classes for those who are good with learning by reading. There is a HUGE amount of information in a single book.
