Richard Findley is a full-time production turner specialising in small-batch work, one-off commissions and turning for furniture and restoration. Richard comes from a long line of woodworkers, going back at least five generations and has been involved in the craft of woodworking since the age of 16. Richard is also a member of the Register of Professional Turners and is supported by The Worshipful Company of Turners. In 2006, Richard set up The Turner’s Workshop and in 2008 relocated to Leicestershire where he has been based ever since. He also offers demonstrations, and a range of woodturning supplies through his website, www.richardfindley.uk Instagram: @richard_findley (100k followers)
The book is also approachable for those who are new to the craft, as there’s a handy guide to turning tools at the start of the book. The techniques explored include multi-axis turning, pyrography, carving, texturing and piercing, and many of the projects also involve scope for flexing your design skills, such as the chess set. With so much on offer, woodworkers of all levels are sure to find something to interest and inspire them. -- Woodworking Crafts magazine
