‘Mastering Woodturning – Tools & Techniques', the New DVD from Glenn Lucas, Available Now From The ToolPost
As part of its extensive collection of woodturning and woodcarving tools, equipment and accessories The ToolPost (http://www.toolpost.co.uk/) features the latest books, DVDs, Videos and CDs on these crafts. The team at The ToolPost hand-picks the very best examples to offer to customers; those that showcase some of the finest talents in their field and that encourage customers of The ToolPost to become better turners and carvers.
One such gem is the newly released DVD ‘Mastering Woodturning – Tools & Techniques' from Glenn Lucas. Glenn has been referred to as the Irish maestro of woodturning and is renowned for bringing a holistic approach and in-depth analysis to the discussion of the craft. This DVD is the first in a series which will showcase the demonstration skills that have made Glenn so popular on national tours and impart some of his much heeded wisdom, from how to pick woodturning tools and how to use them in the most effective way to tips on tool sharpening and grinding.
There are many excellent woodturners who, both in demonstrations and in DVDs, show us the level of their skill, but there are not so many who share with us why and just how they go about it. This is an area where Glenn Lucas excels. Glenn is a natural communicator and brings a relaxed warmth to his DVDs which, combined with the excellent production values, makes them highly watchable time and again.
‘Mastering Woodturning – Tools & Techniques' is one of the few woodturning DVDs which really lives up to its name. By digging deep into the fundamentals behind woodturning, Glenn takes us further towards truly mastering the craft of turning wooden objects than ever before.

Frequently Asked Questions...
Is there an association or group to refer me for questions regarding wood turning and related Q's, also tools?
questions re: woodturning lathes and related tools for same? Please help, thanks
Answer:
There are many local woodturning groups, which is the best way to learn. Woodturners are friendly people who share a lot of their knowledge and often can point you to good tool sources and, more importantly, can show you how to sharpen your tools. (You need to sharpen about as often as you turn!)
If you want to locate a local group, then try this website:
http://www.woodturner.org/community/chapters/
You can also go to alt.rec.woodturning on the usenet to ask questions and get answers. There are many woodturning bulletin boards, as well as sources of information.
http://www.woodturningonline.com/index.php is an excellent site.
Have fun! (I just got inside from making a couple of bottle stoppers out of tulipwood.)
