Whether they' re drawn to the traditional or the innovative, the
plain or the flamboyant, woodturners can expand their horizons with
this storehouse of inspirational images and ideas. The emphasis
throughout is on showcasing graceful and well-proportioned work,
along with examples of usually overlooked styles. More than 100
pieces appear, arranged around ten basic themes: combining
different woods for interesting contrast, achieving surface
texture, producing paired or grouped items, incorporating other
materials (such as rope or leather), fashioning the hard angles of
squares and rectangles, exploring exotic woods, turning plywood,
laminating work, doing off- center turning, and creating simple
shapes and forms.
Martin Holladay has been making weekly postings to his 'Musings of

who await his weekly musings with rapt anticipation. For the first
time, the 50 most popular postings have been assembled in book form
to give homeowners a great opportunity to live a more
energy-efficient life in their homes. The book begins with an
overview of energy priorities, and a discussion of what we mean by
terms like green and sustainable. Martin presents several options
for energy upgrades for an existing house (from replacing windows
to adding superinsulation) before looking at ways to improve the
energy efficiency of a new house. Separate chapters follow on HVAC,
domestic hot water, appliances and renewable energy, before the
book wraps up with an eye-opening chapter on useless products,
scams and myths.
