Bøger af R Raffan

This book is a collection of new woodturning projects - candlesticks, a lamp and shade, sets of plates and bowls, even a turned duck call. The projects range from simple to complex, and Richard Raffan provides instructions with step-by-step photos and drawings. These projects will lead the reader through a skill-building course in woodturning.

Turning a bowl may seem daunting, but woodworkers can create beautiful bowls with the expert advice and instructions in this book. Richard Raffan walks them through the process -- from wood selection and design advice to surface embellishment and finishing techniques. With step-by-step photos and detailed drawings.

Features projects that can serve as a base for almost limitless variation, so you can put your own stamp on each object you create. This title offers plenty of practice when small kids can't have too many peg dolls, things on wheels, wands, or arches for creating buildings, farmyards, and so on. It also includes photos and drawings.

The appeal of woodturning is simple: with only a few hand tools and a lathe, remarkable results can be achieved, including bowls, boxes in the round, lamp bases, and furniture parts. This edition covers topics from the lathe - how it works and how to choose the right model - to fixings, cutting tools, safety, measuring, centerwork, and more.

Offers design advice. This title also explores form and developing profiles.
