Here is a collection of classic stories that deserve to be
celebrated and others that are less well known but deserve
recognition from modern readers. Some of the stories here have
practically defined the horror genre, such as "The Monkey's Paw" by
W.W. Jacobs, one of the most frequently anthologized
English-language stories of all time. Also included are two stories
by Edgar Allan Poe: "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar" and "The
Cask of Amontillado." Others are "The Damned Thing" by Ambrose
Bierce, "The Mummy's Foot" by Théophile Gautier, "The Night Wire"
by H. F. Arnold, "At Abdul Ali's Grave" by E. F. Benson, "The
Secret of the Growing Gold" by Bram Stoker, "The Story of the
Brazilian Cat" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, "In the Vault" by H. P.
Lovecraft, and many, many others.
Construction and turning techniques for making six threaded-lid
boxes. Fully illustrated, this guide takes the turner step-by-step
through the process of creating somewhat complicated, cleverly
designed wooden containers. Some are made with wood left-over from
other uses, while others are turned in lovely exotic woods
specially chosen for these projects. Four methods of hand
thread-chasing are described so that readers are ready for any
circumstance. The use of a rose engine lathe is demonstrated to
place ornamental designs on many of the boxes. A photo gallery
displays variations to entice readers to try their own hands at
creating new artistic endeavors.

One of the problems that confronts all woodturners is how to turn a
spiral. In this new book, Bill Bowers provides the answer. Richly
illustrated and explained in simple terms, the book gives the
novice as well as the expert all necessary information to fashion
gallery-quality spiral-turned works of art. Innovative applications
of stains and shapes are demonstrated on plates, platters, and
bowls. Multiple tips turning delicate spirals as well as
hand-threaded chasing are included. Various combinations and
permutations of techniques are applied to standard turnings to make
unique artistic pieces. These exquisite, turned pieces are
utilitarian, except for one, and extremely beautiful. The gallery
provides ideas for the turner's own creative endeavors. This
well-illustrated book truly offers the basics of turning spirals
and should be on the bookshelf of every woodworker, carver, and
turner.
10 easy projects for the mini-lathe or other smaller lathes, from
12-36 inches. With clear, step-by-step instructions, illustrated
with color photographs, this book will help the beginning or
intermediate turner readily master the work in a weekend. Projects
include door stops, a sliding glass door stop, wine bottle
stoppers, confetti lights, oil lamps, candlesticks, wine caddies,
prep plates and small bowls, hors d'oeuvre plates, and plant
stands. The book is designed so that as you move through one
project you will develop the skill needed for the next. The tools
required are clearly described, and most are standard turning
tools. By the time one has finished these 10 projects their skills
will be developed for more ambitious and complicated projects. Some
of these are shown in a beautiful photo gallery that includes
variations on the projects in the book. They will encourage the
turner to design new projects of their own.
An informative book designed for beginning and intermediate
turners. Bill Bowers leads this step-by-step workshop for
constructing the classic cylinder box, cylinder box variants with
embellishments, the classic capsule box, and capsule box variants
with chatter tool work. With over 300 color photos, each step is
clearly described and illustrated, from mounting the blank on the
lathe to finishing. Projects include a Raffan box, a pagoda box,
the clam shell box, the gourd box, and small hollow form boxes with
bottle top and finial top lids. A photo gallery helps give more
ideas for new turned box styles.
Seven great projects for the 12- to 36-inch lathe, designed for
beginning to intermediate turners, presented in a fully illustrated
step-by-step fashion. Included are instructions for turning two
scoops, a covered cylinder box, a lidded bowl with a foil-leaf
finish, a Christmas ornament turned from last year's tree, a
beautiful carving set, and large salt and pepper mills. Each of
these projects can be completed in the course of a weekend. A photo
gallery offers the turner many variations on the themes shown in
the book and entices them to try their own ideas. An experienced
demonstrator and teacher, Bill Bowers covers the basics, including
issues of safety and technique, and then shares the joy he finds in
turning. He encourages the reader to always remember, exuberance
experienced at the lathe is exceptional medicine for the soul.
An interesting and detailed explanation of the complete process of
woodturning from freshly cut wood. Beginning with an explanation of
how to safely harvest trees, the reader is taken through
green-turning and sealing for the curing process, finish-turning,
completion of their bottoms, and the final finishing. All the steps
are illustrated and explained. A gallery gives many ideas of how to
use the left over and extra stock that otherwise would make its way
to the fireplace or woodstove. This is great book for the
environmentally conscious turner concerned about killing too many
trees for woodworking. And all turners, no matter what their skill
levels happen to be, will like the way it shows how to completely
use the less than excellent stock to make many bowls and other
turned articles for utilitarian use. This is definitely a green
book in the best sense of the word.
