Friends:

It's a big week for me. My new book, One Week to Woodturning is now finished and available for pre-order on Amazon.

The book is a complete guide to the equipment of woodturning and how to get started in the craft with a minimum investment in time and money. It's over 150 pages long and has 65 full-color illustrations. It took a TON of work and I'm very proud of the results.

The book is currently available for pre-order on Amazon (see it here).

BUT on Friday, December 14th, the book will be FREE for Patrons. On that day, I'm running a one-day free book promotion, but I'm only telling my Patrons about it, so you'll be the only ones who can get the free copy. 

This will be a one-day thing, and Amazon makes it hard to give away free copies of your book, so mark your calendars. (I'll send out a reminder on Friday as well.)

Work like this is only possible because of my Patrons, so I'm delighted to give you the book as an additional thank you. 

I hope you all enjoy the book and I look forward to hearing your thoughts. (Oh, and if you know a non-Patron who would enjoy the book, feel free to direct them to the pre-order page and encourage them to buy it. Or if they're a student or other broke person, you can clue them in to the free day on Friday. It's fine with me if a few other free copies go to the deserving.)

Finally, I am 39 years old today.

Happy birthday! Your day and we get the present? That's incredibly generous

Matthew Wedgwood

Happy birthday, Rex! Thanks for taking such great care of us.

Happy Birthday! I'm so excited for your book! Was this announced anywhere else? None of your videos/posts that I remember mentioned a book you're working on. It's a pleasant surprise.

Rex Krueger

I did mention it briefly in a post when I vowed to quit fabrication and concentrate on content. I've been reluctant to hype it too much. I did almost 100% of the work myself, and when you're out on your own with a big project, you never know if you're going to get derailed and not finish (I've got two novels and a graphic novel script in a drawer that may never see the light of day). So, I didn't want to make any promises I can't keep. Now that this one is done and out, I'll be more aggressive with promotion. Thanks for all your good wishes!

Wish there were more of us taking care of you, but we're working on that.

Happy Birthday Youngster! I turned 60 last Friday. Sure don't feel that old!

James Boatright

I subscribed back when you had less than 200 subscribers... I'll be happy for you when the current numbers are up by 10x.

Rex, this is great timing and thanks for this solid information and sound research. My wife actually wants to start turning and this is a perfect summary to keep me from spending more than required, but enough to do it right!

Rex Krueger

Travis, that is just outstanding to hear! If you don't mind, could I please get a brief review on Amazon? Those are crucial to the success of the book. One or two sentences are plenty and no pressure to make it a 5 star. He honest. It's cool.

Rex, I know trees are better used for woodworking than paper, but is there a chance the book will be available in physical form any time?

Rex Krueger

The paperback is done, but Amazon is jerking me around on the cover. They keep telling me it's the wrong size and nothing I do seems to fix the issue. I very much want the paperback to come out, but I'm a little stuck.
