General Workshop Practice...Book ?

[mw1lcr]

Hi
I am looking for a Workshop Practice Book. Something which shows me the best way to drill holes, cut tubes, bend bars, a bit of grinding etc etc.

Can someone reccomend a book ?

Thanks

just read everything you can get your hands on - you'll soon accumulate a room full of books and a head full of knowledge.

Hi mw1lcr
In Australia there is a mob called Plough Books, I guess they will have a connection in UK , they carry all those books . www.ploughbooksales.com.au and AME retail also carry all that type of books www.ameng.com.au
When there is a will there is a way . practice and you will surprise yourself . good luck .

Hi there

Good one for Model Engineers is Peter Wright's Model Engineering; a Foundation Course, advertised on 'our' home page www.modeleng.org.

Available on Amazon www.amazon.co.uk/gp/explorer/1854861522/2/ref=pd_lpo_ase/026-3645021-5791666?

Alternatively try ebay for sets of books like; Engineering Workshop Practice published by Caxton or similar title by Newnes or Workshop Practice published by New Era. They are in sets of between three or four up to eight for the New Era set.

You can check these out at www.abebooks.co.uk for ideas of price etc.

As Tel says collect all you can, they aren't that expensive and look good on your shelf as well as having loads of good interesting information. If you are a member of a Model Engineer's Society you could borrow from other kind members or they may have a reference library.

Best of luck.

Cheers
