TURNING, one of the most effective and satisfying modes of
ornament, has been employed from the earliest times in constructive
and decorative woodwork, and this volume has been designed to
assist the professional craftsman and the amateur in practical
lathe work. The uses of tools and the-methods of manipulation for
various classes of work are clearly given, and suggestions are
offered as guidance for the setting out and grouping of the
recognised classical members so as to secure correctly proportioned
and graceful designs. The numerous illustrations include many
examples of turnings in different styles, and in several cases
full-sized working details are given. The volume has been written
and (for the most part) illustrated by Mr. William Fairham, and is
aimed to assist not only the home worker, but also practical wood
turners, cabinet makers, pattern makers, joiners, carpenters,
wheelwrights, junior draughtsmen, and teachers and students in
Technical or Day Continuation Schools.
