Wandered into the local Half Price Books store. Inventory roles over pretty quickly so I stop in from time to time to check out the woodworking section. Never much on turning though.

Well low and behold they had a bunch of turning stuff on this trip. I left a few behind, but did pick up four new ones, a couple of which I had almost ordered on line.

Tibbets - The Art of Segmented Turning
Holder - Making Screw Threads in Wood
Raffan - Turning Boxes
Hunnex- Woodturning A Source Book of Shapes

Grand Total $32.00. :D

Ya' dun good!!! Some nice books there - most of which I have not seen. The one on screw threads should be very interesting.

Congrats on a great haul. I just got Holders book on threading. I am hoping to start making threaded lidded boxes.

Nice haul. I'm interested to see what you and Bernie think of the threading book.

Great score. Lots of inspiration in those books. Since you're referring to it as a mini gloat, I'll give you a mini.......

John,The Beall Tool Co. has a cd called "tool Demos", and one segment shows how to make wood threads, using their tools..... I got the cd free from Woodcraft in Tucson....Jerry (in Tucson)
