Multi-Axis Spindle Turning

Master the art of multi-axis spindle turning! This book offers a strategy for understanding multi-axis turning and the many options available to create unique forms. Dill, a self-professed “experimental turner,” takes readersstep by step through this complex area of turning. Working in multiple axes on a spindle can be confusing, but as Dill teaches the “hows” of turning spindles as systematic building blocks for future work, turners can finally make this skill their own. Hundreds of photos and diagrams offer detailedguidance,and explain the variables—axis placement, profile,orientationof the new axis to the center axis, and so on—and how they apply to each “quadrant” of multi-axis work. Split andthermedturning methods, planning tips, tricks of the trade, and a three-sided cup or vase project help you succeed. Concepts come to life as Dill shows examples of not only herwork,but the work of other expert turners.
