Turning Toys with Richard Raffan

2013 | ISBN: 162113010X | English | 192 pages | PDF | 18 MB

Most woodturners have children in their lives who would appreciate a hand-turned toy (or several). The projects in Turning Toys can serve as a base for almost limitless variation, so you can put your own stamp on each object you create.

Repetition is the key to mastering any craft, so these projects are in part skill-builders that you can repeat and thereby hone your turning techniques. You can get plenty of practice when small kids can’t have too many peg dolls, balls, or things on wheels. You’ll see ways of salvaging a situation when things go wrong, as they inevitably do when you have a catch or the wood splits. Disasters become design opportunities.

The photos and drawings show you what to do, step-by-step; you’ll see exactly how the tools are used, how the cutting edge should relate to the surface you’re cutting, and how to stand to support and hold the tools so that working at your lathe is a comfortable and pleasurable activity.

Few things can be more satisfying than making stuff for people you know, let alone love, especially when you can watch them using and enjoying the products of your labors. This book will bring you many happy and fruitful hours at the lathe creating heirlooms for future generations.

Sir Ralph Payne-Gallwey, "The Book of the Crossbow: With an Additional Section on Catapults and Other Siege Engines"


2009 | ISBN: 0486287203 | 400 pages | PDF | 170 MB

This fascinating study, the only book devoted exclusively to the crossbow, traces its use as a military and sporting weapon as well as its construction and management in medieval and modern times. The work also covers such related weapons as the balista, catapult, Turkish bow, and more. Over 240 illustrations.

The all-time bestseller with a first edition as far back as 1903, later to appear with the 1907 appendix, was written by an amateur (in the true sense of the word) of archery who apparently had an unlimited source of money and time, but only modest background in physics. Along with the history of the crossbow, detailed accounts of the construction and maintenance of various crossbows designed for bolts and bullets are given. Related and/or relevant medieval weapon, like longbow, ballista and arquebus, are also treated in some detail, and the 1907 appendix on turkish bows serves to give a most interesting contrast to european archery of the epoch. This said, it must be stressed that on the whole it is a very fine piece of work, made by a historian rather than an engineer, a book without a match for almost a century, and certainly well worth recommending.

machi.

...ahoj...od švagra a mojí sestry jsem jako jeden z Vánočních dárků dostal knížku (spíš knihu) Valhala,od českého spisovatele Františka Novotného...čtu jí jen o "oběd",tedy v době,kdy jdu k ségře na chálku...zajímalo by mě,jestli někdo z vás tu knížku četl,a jaký na ní máte názor... několik základních pojmů jsem prohodil panem Googlem,a zdá se,že je to bráno hodne fest podle pravdivých údajů a něco je podle mytologie,teda té Severské...

zdravim ,mě ta kniha docela zajímá bude na uložto?

V sobotu jsme navštívili srub Boba Hurikána,legenda českého trampingu,tak jsem si koupil v antikvariatu i jeho knížku s ilustrací Z.Buriana.
