As I was perusing my old Workbench Magazines, I found this really cool old tutorial on using a Wood Turning Lathe, just thought you all may enjoy this throwback in wood turning. I have also uploaded a .pdf as well for your use.

Cool! Thanks, John!!

They are fun, I love these old magazines.

That depicts the basics and not much has changed since then either as far as basic turning.  On the third page they show a screw chuck.  I didn't think they had that then.  I wonder if it had a draw bar to hold it in?
