Turning Basics DVD: Pre-sale Discount Ends June 30


Recently you got to learn a little about our publisher and resident turner, Steve Shanesy. I had a great opportunity to get to know Steve and learn a lot about turning while filming his new DVD "Turning Basics for Furniture Makers."

Throughout the filming and editing of this project (I shot more than 10 hours of footage) I started to grasp the nuances of turning: how you hold the tools, rubbing the bevel, moving your body with the cut, always cutting "downhill." These concepts didn't ingrain themselves in me the first time I watched Steve turn, but rather after reviewing the video several times – and that's the coolest thing about this DVD. This instructional DVD is so packed with information that you'll want to watch it over and over again, and the repetition of the turning motions is the easiest way to learn proper technique.

According to Steve, almost 50 percent of our readers own lathes.

"But when you ask them how many turning projects they actually make, less than 30 percent said they did," Steve says. "That leads me to conclude there are a lot of lathes out there just gathering dust in the shop. Hopefully this video will get you busy."

As an amateur woodworker with no turning experience, I now find myself having the confidence to turn on a lathe. I honestly think that after watching this DVD, you will, too.

Below is a free video preview I put together of the DVD. I basically reduced all 100 minutes of the DVD into 100 seconds. Also, I wanted to let you know that now through June 30 we're offering this DVD at a special introductory price of $19.99 – that's 20 percent off the original price. So if you enjoy the trailer below, visit the Woodworker's BookShop and purchase this DVD for $19.99. It's in stock now and available for immediate delivery.
