Produktbeschreibung

Woodturning is a very popular hobby in the USA and making salt and pepper shakers is one of the most common projects woodturners enjoy doing. This book belongs on the shelf of every American woodturner, and in the woodworking section of bookstores and libraries. Chris West, the author of 'Adding Spice to Your Woodturning', is Europe's go-to guy for turning salt and pepper shakers. If you know him through his woodturning articles in American woodturning magazines you will already appreciate his practical approach which gets you working on projects right away. This book presents 15 original and unique projects for turning salt and pepper shakers plus 5 additional projects on making spice shakers and other condiment accessories for either the home or the restaurant. Hone your skills turning these unique, beautiful and useful objects for family and friends, or to sell through your site or at markets. "Adding Spice to your Woodturning" was designed for use in the workshop. The book is hardcover, the pages are made of heavy-duty art paper, and the book is spiral bound (hidden spiral system of binding) so the pages will lay flat and won't turn while you are working on a particular project. There are projects here for beginning, intermediate and experienced turners but regardless of the skill level of the project each one will result in a beautiful object that will give you great satisfaction and words of praise from those who see it. --Chris West

Autorenporträt

Chris has been enjoying his craft for over 35 years. During the last dozen or so Chris has specialized in designing and turning salt and pepper mills and shakers. His career began in the computer industry. - He started out by serving a five year apprenticeship as an electromechanical engineer. Yes, computers did have moving parts in those days! One important aspect of that work was the necessity of working within tight tolerances. This gave Chris the necessary skills for turning matching pairs of shakers. After taking early retirement he now spends a good deal of his time in his workshop. Chris's schedule also includes taking his wood-turning experience to 'outside' groups by giving talks to interested social organizations. Many of Chris's shakers have appeared in the UK's Woodturning magazine. He feels that through this book he can share his knowledge and experience with many woodturners, budding and experienced alike. He is also an active member of the Hampshire Woodturners Association, the Test Valley Woodturners and an international member of the American Association of Woodturners (AAW).
