Synopsis

This collection of eighteen unique projects for home workshop equipment enables the model engineer to create useful and even essential items that cannot be purchased commercially, including an auxiliary workbench, tap holders, distance and height gauges, a lathe back stop, a tailstock die-holder, faceplate clamps, collets, DTI accessories, sash clamps, low profile clamps and a tapping stand. Each project is designed to make the model engineer's task in hand easier than it would have been, had the items not been made. Each design is illustrated with good quality photographs and comprehensive working drawings. Author Harold Hall is a former editor of the enthusiasts' magazine Model Engineers' Workshop, within whose pages all of these projects were originally featured.
