My New Book is Out and it's FREE (for Patrons)
Added 2018-12-11 12:06:34 +0000 UTCFriends:
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.

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.

2019-08-23 09:55:55 +0000 UTCTravis, 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.

2018-12-16 12:46:15 +0000 UTCRex, 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!

2018-12-16 04:28:06 +0000 UTCI know. You've been there since the beginning. I appreciate it.

2018-12-12 11:21:06 +0000 UTCI subscribed back when you had less than 200 subscribers... I'll be happy for you when the current numbers are up by 10x.

2018-12-12 02:50:30 +0000 UTCYou're all doing just fine! I'm very lucky to have OVER 80 Patrons. That's a lot.

2018-12-11 22:01:37 +0000 UTCI 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!

2018-12-11 21:08:15 +0000 UTCThanks very much! You guys take care of me, so I just return the favor!

2018-12-11 21:05:43 +0000 UTCHappy 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.

2018-12-11 19:15:41 +0000 UTCIt's really the least I can do. Thanks for your good wishes!

2018-12-11 13:07:55 +0000 UTCHappy birthday! Your day and we get the present? That's incredibly generous
