Publisher's Synopsis
"The Author of this volume is a man not only of wide experience in practical woodwork, but who has for many years been an Instructor at Technical Schools, and has also the additional advantage of having an intimate knowledge of all kinds of woodworking tools and machinery." In the classic 1922 book: WOOD-TURNING, William Fairham covers the use of the Foot Treadle Lathe in the art of turning wooden objects. He discusses treadling, the care of turning tools, and the various forms turned, such as split & spiral, hollow & ball, square and ring turning. His first hand knowledge of wood turning on a foot treadle lathe remains an invaluable resource for the wood turner of today. The Toolemera Press re-publishes classic books on early crafts, trades and industries, from our personal library.
