Sinossi

“A definitive guide for every step of pottery making, from styling small tools to building one’s own kiln” (Publishers Weekly). 
 
At one time or another, every potter gets frustrated at the wheel. Whether struggling to center the clay or attach a handle with precision, potters of all levels crave advice and answers, and world-renowned ceramicist and YouTube sensation Simon Leach has plenty to give. In Simon Leach’s Pottery Handbook, he presents clear tutorials and loads of original instruction on all of the core techniques, from studio setup to basic throwing, to applying appendages, trimming, glazing, and firing. For each technique, detailed step-by-step photography captures the subtle, intricate movements. 
 
Praise for Simon Leach’s Pottery Handbook 
 
“An amazingly detailed, step-by-step text for all major processes in ceramics. The in-depth perspective starts with his directions for making simple tools (a wire tool and a sponge stick) and is bolstered by charts and information-packed sidebars (e.g., for removing air bubbles and troubleshooting your first pull). Every topic that novices must master is covered, such as working basic shapes (cylinder and variations dishes) trimming, decorating and glazing, and firing.” ?Booklist  
 
“Among how-to books, this volume stands out. This gem is as carefully honed as the skills it seeks to share.” —American Craft 
 
“For those of us who learn best with a combo of text and demonstrations, Simon Leach’s new book is the perfect fit.” ?Ceramics Monthly

    Unlock the keys to protect and prevent home and car from robbery.
    
    No one thinks it will ever happen to them: robbery. Most people say that they will never be robbed because they live in a good neighborhood or a decent town. They may think that always locking their doors or cars will prevent them from being a victim.
    
    The truth, however, is that over 10% of the population is a victim of home burglary or car theft every year! When it happens, people are often too stunned to react properly. They panic or freeze. Even after the theft, people often feel vulnerable and powerless and that often affects them for years to come.
    
    Would you know what to do if suddenly faced with a robbery? Would you be well-equipped to handle or prevent a burglary? Would you be able to protect your family during an actual home invasion? Do you even know what steps should be taken before and after theft?
    
    If you have any doubt as to your preparation or how you would react, take comfort now by knowing how to better secure your home and car from burglary and theft.
    
    In Home Burglary and Car Theft Protection Hacks, discover how to:
    
    Hide valuables so no thief will ever find them (but you can!).
    Set up anti-burglary obstacle course to discourage the burglar.
    Use smart technologies to your advantage for home and car protection.
    Handle a home robbery properly without risking your well-being.
    Make your home less appealing to prevent break-ins in the first place.
    Create your own neighborhood watch to look out for one another.
    Randomize your routines to lower the chances of being a target.
    Prepare your family ahead of time in case of a home invasion.
    Maintain inventories to help you recover stolen goods from theft.
    Avoid security risks of leaking too much information to potential robbers.

    A concise, “colorful, well-told” history of the City by the Bay, from the Gold Rush to the Summer of Love to the twenty-first century (Los Angeles Times).   This is the story of San Francisco, a unique and rowdy tale with a legendary cast of characters. It tells of the Indians and the Spanish missions, the arrival of thousands of gold seekers and gamblers, crackbrains and dreamers, the building of the transcontinental railroad and the cable car, labor strife and political shenanigans, the 1906 earthquake and fire, two World Wars, two World's Fairs, two great bridges, the beatniks and hippies and New Left—a story that is so marvelous and wild that it must be true.   A new afterword from the author in this updated third edition brings The City into the twenty-first century—a time just as hectic, experimental, and opportunistic as its rambunctious past.

    When Rude Osolnik was asked, "Rude, how do I become a good turner?" he replied, "Stand at the lathe." 
    Well, that's the key!  
    Of all the woodworking crafts I have practiced, Turning demands most patience and focus. 
    As you start, you have to find your comfort zone with a lathe, chisels, and other tools. After some practice, your mind and body would get attenuated to the ecosystem of Turning. 
    There are two ways of learning; one is learning from SMEs (Subject Matter Experts) with years of experience, and the other is to learn from people who are just a few steps ahead of you in their journey. 
    I fall into the latter group. I have spent five years on this hobby and am still learning from the experts.I still remember the initial doubts I had and the tips that helped me. 
    Topics Covered 
    ✓    Introduction to Wood Turning 
    ✓    Process & Techniques 
    ✓    Finishing 
    ✓    Safety and Best Practices 
    ✓    10 Beginner Woodturning Projects 
    ✓    Tips, Glossary, and Conclusion 
    I have included ample photographs of realistic beginner projects, and I will explain the processes and standard operating procedures associated with them. 
    In the last chapter, I have provided tips for beginners and a glossary of wood turning terms. 
    So what are you waiting for? 
    Get this updated book from someone who is a few steps ahead in the Wood Turning journey!
