Excerpt from A Manual of the Hand Lathe: Comprising Concise Directions for Working Metals of All Kinds, Ivory, Bone and Precious Woods; Dyeing, Coloring, and French Publishing; Inlaying by Veneers, and Various Methods Practices to Produce Elaborate Work With Dispatch, and at Small Expense
I DID not write this little book With the intention of apologizing to the prospective reader, so soon as I had done so, but With the honest, I hope not egotistical, feeling that I had something to say that was not generally known. We live to learn'and to impart what we know to others, and I have taken this method of giving my experience in a pastime that is elevating, artistic in every sense of the word, and a wholesome relief from the cares of business.
