Written by a professional woodturning instructor with over two decade’s teaching experience. A Lesson Plan for Woodturning, 2^nd edition, is a systematic, skill-building introduction that helps beginning woodturners master basic techniques on their own. The new and updated 2^nd edition provides a complete, self-directed course in woodturning safety, tools, and techniques that will help any beginning woodturner learn the basics on his or her own time. Using methods proven in the classroom, A Lesson Plan for Woodturning provides the equivalent of three semester-length classes in one book. Designed to give readers a thorough grounding in every essential woodturning technique, this book is systematically organized to teach basic skills that are building blocks for mastering more complex tasks. Each lesson features projects designed to develop the specific skill discussed. The structure, order, and specific exercises are based on classroom-tested experience in teaching woodturning to both adult and younger students. New to the second edition are fresh woodturning projects, additional instructional lessons on best practices for beginning turners, and special advice for woodturning teachers who are looking to instruct woodturning beginners.
