The Pen Turner's Workbook: Making Pens from Simple to Stunning (1565233190) - Customer Reviews, Information, Ratings, and Prices

Customer Reviews: Avg. Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Great book:
Beautiful photographs, superficial information: I found this publication to be more of a "coffee table" book than a practical teaching guide. I was hoping for greater instruction on the specific steps in the process of making pens. Although the book does outline the basics to pen turning, I found the instructions and corresponding photos to be general and repetitive. Instead of offering various techiques, this book seemed to repeat the same instructions and photographs for all the various styles. For example, how is the construction of a fountain pen... How to????: This may be as much a criticism of all "how to" books as this one, but non-the-less applicable... They never seem to be able to decide who their audience is... (biginner, novice, experienced or professional)or they try to address them all, its really annoying. This book (given the availability of this type of book) may be the best (easily found), but I found it necessary to use a number of different resources to obtain enough information about related issues to be able to get off the ground in pen making.... Very useful and easy to follow: This is the third pen turning book I have purchased. This is much better than the others. It is easy to follow and very useful. I refer to it often for ideas and techniques.
