Pete, I for one am a very fond of old books about mecanical and building! It looks like if the rest of the layouts are as nice as the posted pic it will help you in your designs and turning techniques! Great find!

Have a geat New Year!

[Pete Jordan]

Thanks Pete!

It looks interesting.

A couple of months ago I was lucky to purchase one from Amazon. Great piece of turning history to say nothing about the authors.

[Jack Gaskins]

Thanks for the link.

[Robert Parrish]

Thanks, Pete. I just downloaded the book.

[Bill Bulloch]

I think they sell that on ebay. Oh, and I always take my suit coat off too, while turning.

[Steve Vaughan]

Thanks for the link. Loved chapter IV Figure 3. However, I have to admit, that as a pastor, I have actually sneaked in a brief turning session between places to be almost dressed like that !

[Bert Solis]

Great looking material, and best of all is free to download, HTML, made it to my favorites, will look closely and learn from this.
Thanks for sharing

I've been asked to make 5 gavels and I wasn't sure 2" material was thick enough - now I know how 'they used to do it'.

[Steve Schlumpf]
