My question are there any web sites I can visit that have detailed information on the use of spindle moulders or are books that other woodworkers have found useful
I am a hobbyist and have a multifunction woodwork machine I have attended 2 short courses on the use of spindle moulders but would like to further grow/reinforce my of knowledge spindle moulding

Must be British. Called a shaper in the states. The old Delta-gram booklets had a great one on the shaper. Even told how to grind cutters. Still available if you know how to find out of print books. There's only three other books dedicated to shapers, one by Roger Cliffe and the other is SPINDLE MOULDER HANDBOOK
Eric Stephenson Reprinted 1999. SHAPER HANDBOOK by
R W Cliffe & M Holtz is another one I just noticed.
http://www.stobartdavies.com/system/index.html
is one of the best craft book sites around. Cliffe's book is so so and Stephenson's book is far more advanced but still doesn't cover it all. The shaper is one of those machines that is best learned by working with a master of the shaper. It truly can take a lifetime to learn all about the shaper.
Thank you for your reply
Yes I am e mailing from the United Kingdom and I am British I do have a copy of the book by Eric Stephenson
Another source of safety information I have found on a number of areas of woodworking including spindle moulding(shaping) is
http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/woodindx.htm
a United kingdom web site provided by the Health and safety executive
