Review: Another great book for the hobby machinist. - A lot of information in great detail. At first read it can be a little overwhelming, but when you are trying to machine a part, everything you need to know is well explained. Since I bought my lathe and milling machine, I have watched hours of video and learned a great deal about machine work. But having a book with the processes clearly explained makes learning the skills of machining much easier. I'm retired and enjoy repairing and building things in my shop. Mechanical work comes easily for me, but machine work is something I am trying to learn. This book has a lot of the answers I need.
Review: Historic - I got this for my dad, who sadly died before I could give it to him for Christmas. I know he would’ve loved it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Historic

I got this for my dad, who sadly died before I could give it to him for Christmas. I know he would’ve loved it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Keepers of the old trade
*by A***R on July 30, 2022*

A good book on how to machine critical dimensions without advanced tooling or measuring devices. The book is a bit dated though. It appears to be written from other trade journals of 90 to 100 years ago. Some of the illustrations show machine shops when they were referred to as belt jungles. I like the book though. It has information in it that other such trade publications don't have, like lapping techniques and using machinist buttons.
