Good turning books or videos

Matt Berry in MI

>I've already bought a three book set by Richard Raffan it included Turning Wood, Turning Boxes, and Turning Bowls. I was wondering what other books or videos I should add to my collection.

Tom Colligan, Peoria

>Matt, I'm pretty new to the hobby but I very much like Ernie Conover's: The Lathe Book which has just been revised. For DVD's I have Alan Lacer's Skew Chisel and enjoy it very much also.

All the best,

Chris Stott tapes

Loose Tenon

>I agree with Sean. Chris Stott's tapes are the best out there in my opinion. He has an easy manner of teaching and doesn't try and confuse the viewer with his knowledge. He makes the learning process achievable. If you are just starting, First Steps In Woodturning is worth the money. Or, join your local turning club, they may have his tapes in their library.

Good Luck, Loose Tenon
