"The Turner's Companion" by Anonymous is a comprehensive guide on the art of turning, written in the late 19th century. This instructional manual focuses on techniques for working with a lathe to create both practical and decorative items from materials such as wood and ivory. It aims to provide a clear understanding of the process of turning for beginners, while also serving as a reference for more experienced practitioners. The opening of the book introduces the author's intent to demystify the craft of turning, emphasizing its historical significance and benefits for both mental engagement and manual skills. The preface discusses the tools, techniques, and various materials that can be used in turning, as well as outlining the breadth of topics the book will cover, from basic lathe operations to advanced decorative techniques. The engaging tone suggests that the author seeks to inspire readers, particularly women, to participate in this rewarding craft, highlighting both its aesthetic appeal and practical applications.
