Lyn J Mangiameli's Articles

A number of people have urged me to develop a web site where I could present to the woodturning world the numerous articles that I have posted to the various news boards for woodturning and that have been published in More Woodtuning.

After considerable discussion, Fred has agreed to set this page up here on his domain and to assist in helping to keep these articles up to date as I gain more information through experimentation or simple use of some tool or procedure. All of the articles will be presented in PDF format and will require Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is available on most computers or can be downloaded free of charge from many places on the Internet. I hope this information will be of use to you and perhaps your friends.
