Areas covered range from shop requirements and proper lighting to buying, using, and storing tools. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - For the beginnerIf you're a beginner at metal working this is a great book. If you're an old hand at metalworking you can find some good in here as well like the basics of grinding lathe tools, using measuring tools and general setup and planning of your projects. It's all here! Rating: - Great for the home hobbyistIf you want to get into scratch building models, this a great book to have. Rating:  - Wasted my moneyThis book is geared towards an absolute beginner with no knowledge of machining, tools, or measuring. I thought there would be more details on how to use a lathe (i.e. setup, cutting techniques, etc). Just a basic overview of the tools used in machining. The small manual that came with my Sherline lathe was more useful than this. Other reviews on Amazon, led me to believe that this book was better than it really is. Rating: - ConfusedThis book is very confusing. The diagrams are often several pages before or after the text that discusses them. The projects are incomplete or downright stupid. (For example, making parallel bars isn't a project, it is a trivial operation that should have been shown in the main test.) I would suggest anyone interested in a home shop purchase "Machine Shop Essentials: Questions and Answers [Illustrated]" by Marlow, Frank. Rating:  - Home Machinist's HandbookVery much for the beginner, but some good tips and techniques. More valuable for Sherline owners. Seems like there is too much detail in some places, especially in the chapter on hand tools. Later chapters on machine tools occasionally use terms that a novice would not understand. A glossary and better indexing is needed. It's a bit dated; 1983 copyright.
