THE MODEL ENGINEERS LATHE MANUAL
by Edgar T. Westbury
The late Edgar Westbury‘s first major book
on lathes was the ME Lathe Manual published
in 1951. This was subsequently revised and
titled Metal Turning Lathes and in
reprinting the work we have reverted to the
original title since this more accurately
reflects the use today of the size and type
of machinery described therein.

LBSC's Shop, Shed & Road |
|
| |
|
| Price (£): |
15.95 |
| Product Description: |
This famous book first
appeared in 1929 and established LBSC in the
forefront of miniature steam locomotive
design for all time. It was later reprinted
under the title of ‘The Live Steam Book’. It
then reappeared again as ‘Shop, Shed and
Road’ with added chapters from ‘Curly’s’
later writings, with the diagrams completely
redrawn and with a new set of plates
illustrating most of the locomotives that he
built over the years. It is a complete
course in locomotive building and this
latest reprint, some 75 years after it was
first published is, in a way, a tribute to a
great and much-respected designer. |

Tool & Cutter Sharpening |
|
| |
|
| Price (£): |
6.95 |
| Product Description: |
Sharpening workshop tools is probably the
most diverse of all workshop activities and
the one that is least understood by the
majority of workshop owners. This book
illustrates how most sharpening tasks can be
carried out using an off hand grinder and a
few simple made accessories, whilst doing
this to a standard comparable to that
achieved using much more sophisticated
equipment. |
