## Description

Get a grip on your woodturning! Inside, find information on: Drive Centers and Live Centers Faceplates and Screw Centers Scroll Chucks Handy Shop-Made Chucks Jam Chucks Collets and Mandrels Cole Jaws, Doughnut Chucks, Longworth Chucks Vacuums, Vacuum Systems, and Vacuum Chucks Steady Rests Turning Projects Assembled Pieces What's the key to successful and safe 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 gathers all the essential information about woodturning chucks and fixtures in one place, making this critical step in woodturning more accessible and easier to understand. 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're a beginner or an advanced turner—by presenting a carefully crafted combination of how-to advice and interesting, engaging projects. Packed with more than 28 projects and 500 photos, you will 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!

Review: exactly what the title suggests - This is a little bit of an odd book. As the title suggests, it goes into great detail on how to attach the work to the lathe, how to make steady rests etc. At first I was a little nonplussed when reading because the author goes into detail on everything except the actual turning, even the turning that you might have to do to make a jig. However, this focus is actually the best part of the book. The reader probably already knows the basics of turning and would, in any event, be better off with a more general book on the actual woodturning techniques for this part. The author has spelled out a number of creative and useful ways to inexpensively increase the capabilities of the wood lathe and to get around some of the problems turners will probably encounter. Further, he often spells out several different ways or jigs to do similar things so the reader has options. I particularly like the examples of the bowl and spindle steadies. I followed his plans for a bowl steady and saved more than the price of the book by making one. (It works great by the way.) The biggest problem I had was deciding which of three plans would work the best for what I wanted to do. This would not be a good first choice if you can only buy one book on turning. But while there are multiple good books on other aspects of turning, this book has fairly minimal overlap with others. I therefore recommend it as part of every woodturner's library.
Review: Outstanding reference and practical handbook for turners. - What stands out in this book is the clarity of the instructions and pictures. There are many projects in it, but I bought it primarily to learn how to build a vacuum chuck, and the results were outstanding. That set of chapters alone is worth the price of the book. Wood turners love to learn from one another, and it is clear that Doc Green loves to turn, loves to teach, and has the gift of making the complex look simple and easy. It's an outstanding book on a subject few but wood turners can truly appreciate, but it does the subject justice and provides a world of practical information in the process. Really well written and illustrated.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great collection of ideas for the woodturner
*by P***R on February 4, 2024*

This book widens one's perspective and options for mounting wood on a lathe. The comparison of commercial solutions to 'build it yourself' provides some more economical answers to mounting. Great book for the woodturner's library
