Description
Originally written by Stan Bray and now thoroughly revised by Stewart Hart, Making Small Workshop Tools 2nd Edition features more than 20 handy projects, including marking-out tools, clamps, chucks, flycutters, knurling tools, bevels, jacks and more.
Each project is accompanied by full working drawings, photographs and figures to make the step-by-step instructions clear to follow. All of them are suitable for beginners but will be of value to those with more experience too, and none will take more than 3 to 4 hours to complete.
Every workshop has odds and ends kept because they might come in useful one day, and this book finally provides you with a time-saving, cost-effective and ultimately satisfying use for them.
