This book got me started with my lathe and I'm now up to the second to last project. I've found it to be a great resource and the projects are all challenging in their own way. Interestingly it starts with a project that draws on techniques that are only explained later in the book, so you really have to jump in and just have a go, trying different things, which is a great way to get started and build confidence. I watch a lot of machining on Youtube also, but I have found the book to be indispensable. The book loses a star because the writing style is sometimes confusing, and the pictures not always clear. Also it recommends a rear tool post for parting which I think is misleading. I've found that the key to parting is to do it as close as possible to the chuck, because flex seems to be the real enemy.
