What's the key to safe, successful woodturning? Simple: Make sure the wood is properly secured to the lathe before you turn it on!

This book will help you save money on woodturning, expand your abilities, and master new challenges, giving you more success and confidence at the lathe, so you can pursue any style of woodturning you can imagine!

Fixtures and Chucks for Woodturning, Revised and Expanded Edition gathers all the essential information about woodturning chucks and fixtures in one place, making the subject accessible and easy to understand. Inside, you'll find all the expert tips and techniques you need to optimize your use of the lathe. Whether you specialize in bowls, spindles, scoops, platters, or pens, you'll gain the skills to prepare the blank, mount it in the machine, and confidently troubleshoot any problems that arise.

Updated information in this edition includes 5 new projects — two types of rolling pin (traditional and French), a whimsical doughnut turned on a doughnut chuck, a jumbo screw chuck, and a lidded box — instructions for mounting a Beall buffing system to your lathe, new high-quality photos, a fresh layout, and newly updated information by author Doc Green.

More than merely a reference for dedicated turners, this book is designed to help you improve your skills and broaden the range of projects you can tackle at the lathe—whether you just started or have been making sawdust for years—by presenting a carefully crafted combination of how-to advice and interesting, engaging projects. With this one-stop shop for all things turning, you'll continue to sharpen your turning skills throughout each chapter.

Fixtures and Chucks for Woodturning clearly explains how to get the most from commercial chucks, centers, and faceplates. But it also shows how you can make your own, allowing you to tailor your wood-holders precisely to the work you want to do!
