E-book Title: A Course in Wood Turning
Book Description: PREFACE
This book is the outgrowth of problems given to high school pupils by the writers, and has been compiled in logical sequence. Stress is set upon the proper use of tools, and the problems are bestowed in such a way that each exercise, or project, depends somewhat on the one preceding. It is not the idea of the writers that all problems shown should be made, but that the teacher choice only such as wish give the pupils enough preliminary activity in the use of the tools to prepare them for another models following.
The related matter on the care of the shaper and tools, the grinding of chisels, the shining of projects, and the specific directions and cautions for working out the various exercises and projects with the drawings, do the book not only valuable for reference, but besides as a class text to be studied in connection with the devising of projects. The drawings show exact dimensions and are tabulated in the upper right-hand corner in such a way that they may be used in a filing case if desired. At least two designs are shown for each model, and these may be used as suggestions from which students, with the aid of the instructor, may activity out their own designs.
The book has been divided into two parts: (A) Spindle Turning, and (B) Face-Plate Turning. The same order is followed in each part; the related information is supplied wherever
required as the pupil progresses.
Part A takes up the following: (I) Exercises; (II) Models, involving the same tool processes, only in a somewhat some degree; (III) Oval Turning, explaining the use of two centers; (IV) Duplicate Turning, wherever
identical pieces are turned.
Part B is arranged as follows: (I) Exercises; (II) Models, which are an application of cuts in exercises that involve only face-plate work; (III) Models, which require chucking; (IV) Collection Exercises, involving spindle turning, face-plate activity and chucking; (V) Spiral Turning, showing the know-how
of turning a spiral on the lathe.
The ultimate aim of this book is to give, through the exercises and problems, a thorough understanding of the principles of wood turning by bit by bit developing the confidence of the pupil in the complete control of his tools, at the same time suggesting harmonious lines in design which wish lead to another ideas in designing problems.
