Tricks & Secrets - Volume 2
of Old-time Machinists
More tricks and secrets! Useful solutions to unusual problems. Clever solutions to problems we hope we never see! And proven ideas you can grab and run with (assuming you can think half as well as the old timers...)
You get some really unusual stuff: how one imaginative machinist
managed to turn an eight foot pulley on a ten inch lathe. Great advice
on annealing aluminum. Unusual tool posts. A mold for making small clay
crucibles. An ingenious old burning torch. 
Way
of cutting strange threads. And much more.
Check out the table of contents. Study the drawings. Great stuff! More fun reading. Useful ideas. The old guys didn't have much education, but they sure knew how to use their heads. Worth having! Get one. 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 softcover 96 pages
