Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This hand-book, which forms the first of a series of Handybooks for Handcrafts, consist chiefly of matter contained in the first edition of "The Metal Turner's Handybook." The book has, however, in many parts, been re-written and additions have been made. Some of the matter and illustrations many be identified as having been taken from varous technical periodicals, to which they were originally contributed by me.

The lathe, which is claimed to be the creator of mechanism, is a machine in which all mechanics should be interested. A knowledge of the art of turning bids useful application in all community employed in these arts, but individuals interest themselves in their practice, as affording pleasureable and profitable recreaton. Turnery occupies many workmen, and has special claims on amateurs. If this handybook tends to promote this fascinating and useful art my object will be attained.

The Wood Turner's Handybook, which forms a companion volume, I would recommend to the notice of those who are interested in tha branch of the Art of Turning.
