Description

The lathe used to be a utilitarian tool only, but in the hands of today’s artists woodturning has undergone a beautiful transformation. This stunning international collection showcases the work of 40 pioneering woodturners who have expanded the possibilities of the medium. Their pieces range from classic to humorous to sculptural to amazing. Curator Jim Christiansen introduces each master’s multi-page gallery with an insightful overview, and the creators themselves offer their lyrical thoughts on wood, nature, and art. Jim Christiansen’s creations have been featured in magazines and books such as American Woodturner and Wood Art Today. He has exhibited nationally and internationally and curated a number of regional shows and several major exhibitions, including Woodturning On The Edge in 2006, which featured groundbreaking work by leading turners.

    Finding an effective jig or fixture for a woodworking operation can be as elusive and time-consuming as designing a great piece of furniture, a sailboat, or a ukulele. It takes solid woodworking knowledge and some problem-solving skills, with a good dose of inspiration thrown in. Even a moderately complex setup can pose numerous choices: •What tool or machine is best for the operation? •Should the jig move the wood over the machine or guide the machine past the wood? •How does the workpiece need to be referenced and clamped? •Should the jig be adjustable? Most of the woodworkers I’ve met delight in solving challenging jigging problems. But tackling these problems requires a basic understanding of jig function and design. This book will teach you how to make these time saving devices and help improve everything you build in your shop.
