Review: Good book - for intermediate to advanced woodturners - Good book and well worth the cost. Nice photos provide good inspiration for turning projects. Like some others have noted, the language can be a bit lofty and some of the measurements a bit over-precise but if you look past that and get into the meat of the project then you should have some really good outcomes. I would recommend other books to the beginning turner prior to getting this book since it makes some assumptions on the readers skill level that may not be there yet. As a woodturner for several years, I drew inspiration and ideas from this book that I had not previously considered so in that regard it was well worth the money. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #295,323 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #130 in Wood Crafts & Carving #166 in Carpentry #333 in Woodworking Projects (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 296 Reviews | ## Images ![Turning Boxes with Friction-Fitted Lids (Schiffer Book for Woodturners) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nfVGZi3WL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent condition *by T***N on April 5, 2024* Delivered well ahead of schedule and in excellent condition.

This book has been a big help. It shows in detail how to make several different styles of wood boxes that you can turn on a wood lathe. It shows the different techniques needed and the different tools that you need and how to use them. It's one of the better books on wood turning that I've got and I would recommend it for any one that wants to get into turning boxes. Even if you already turn boxes this book might help you better your methods. But I definitely recommend it for any beginner that wants to get into box turning. ## Frequently Bought Together - Turning Boxes with Friction-Fitted Lids (Schiffer Book for Woodturners) - Woodturning Christmas Ornaments with Dale L.
