Bowl turning made easy on woodworking lathe dvd
At last it is here and ready for you, the woodturners of the world! People have been bugging Bill for years - well, encouraging him anyway - to make a DVD that goes through the steps he teaches in his bowl turning classes. So, in the late summer of 2004, he did it! He worked hard to make this DVD different than any other out there. What makes it so different? Bill has made this bowl turning DVD as comprehensive as possible. It is also longer than just about any other DVD out there, even some two disc sets. There are over two hours of bowl turning information! So what does this thing cover exactly? Below is a list of the segments he has included for your viewing pleasure.
