The thirty lessons cover substantially all the ordinary uses of wood turning tools. More difficult problems are easily suggested, yet, for the time usually devoted to turning, it is not advisable to undertake the more difficult problems.

For those who are more apt in this line of work, or who wish to devote more than the ordinary time to this subject, additional exercises are given. There are also a variety of designs which may suggest other problems and combinations requiring no additional directions.

It is better to execute the exercises in this part in their given order, yet, by a thorough use of cross references, a pupil who has completed Part 1 should be able to make any of these articles properly. Until all the work in Part 1 has been completed, no attempt should be made to do any of the work in Part 2.
