Woodturning for Beginners Handbook: The Step-by-Step Guide with Tools, Techniques, Tips and Starter Projects

When Rude Osolnik was asked, 'Rude, how do I become a good turner?' he replied, 

'Stand at the lathe.'Well, that's the key! 

Of all the woodworking crafts I have practiced, Turning demands most patience and focus.

As you start, you have to find your comfort zone with a lathe, chisels, and other tools. After some practice, your mind and body would get attenuated to the ecosystem of Turning.

There are two ways of learning; one is learning from SMEs (Subject Matter Experts) with years of experience, and the other is to learn from people who are just a few steps ahead of you in their journey.

I fall into the latter group. I have spent five years on this hobby and am still learning from the experts.I still remember the initial doubts I had and the tips that helped me.
