Great ideas for turners of all levels
This is one of two books edited by Mark Baker, who was editor of the UK magazine Woodturning until his recent death. He has assembled 25 different projects... some quick and easy, and others a bit more challenging. For each project there are dimensioned cross section diagrams, tool and materials lists, and step-by-step procedures for mounting and turning. I bought this book, along with "30-Minute Woodturning" also by Mark Baker, to get some project ideas for the Youth Woodworking program that I teach. These books have many projects that are appropriate for the beginner turners in the program. (Other projects in these books are perfect for my own uses!) I would recommend either of these books for turners of all experience levels... there should be something of interest to any turner.

One of the best books for quick woodturning projects
The 25 quick projects range from simple to moderately difficult. With good instructions and clear illustrations this is a good resource for beginning turners - and for more experienced turners who are trying to brush up on their skills. (A word of caution, much of the text is in relatively small type (looks like 6pt). Not a problem for most people but something to be aware of.)

Projets réalisables par tous
Projets simples à réaliser. ça donne des idées. On peut toutefois regretter certains manques de conseils. Comme tous les livres anglo-saxons il est très pragmatique.
