Excerpt from The Wood Turner's Handybook: A Practical Manual for the Workers at the Lathe This hand-book forms the second of a Series of handy books for handicrafts. Some of the matter and illustra tions may be identified as having been taken from various technical periodicals to which they were originally contributed by me. A few of the items originated from other sources, but have been rewritten for publication in this hand-book.
