Wood Turning Projects - Not Only for Spindle Turners
by
Darrell Feltmate
Wood turning projects books, articles and web sites tend to start with spindle turning exercises. Probably this is because most people begin wood turning by turning spindle shapes such as chair rungs, table legs and candle sticks. This in turn tends to happen because the easiest way to begin with a lathe is to mount a piece of wood "between centers" and to turn it round. However, many wood turned objects such as bowls and clocks are wider and flatter than a stick. These are turned with the grain of the wood perpendicular to the bed of the lathe and are termed "faceplate" turnings.

Wood Turning Projects - Learning while Producing
by
Darrell Feltmate
One of the first things a wood turner in the making does is put a piece of wood on the new lathe and turn it round. After a couple of tries there is an ease to getting a round piece of wood that is only equaled by the ease of getting piles of satisfying shavings around one's feet. Then the question arises, "what next?" Most wood turners begin turning on their own without instruction except for a book or a video and perhaps a web site for inspiration. Soon they find out about wood turning projects.

Woodturning Techniques - Center Savers Make Multiple Bowls From One Blank
by
Steven Russell
Like most people, I enjoy saving money whenever possible. Years ago, I routinely wasted away the center area on bowls during turning. This article will discuss how you can stop wasting wood in your studio by using a bowl center saver to remove a solid core from the center of your bowls. This saved center core can then be remounted on your lathe and turned into additional bowls. You can easily save one bowl for every inch of thickness in your bowl blank. This means you can get four bowls out of a four inch thick bowl blank, instead of one if hollowed in the traditional way.
