Making and Using Small Workshop Tools

Making and Using Small Workshop Tools

While pride of place in a workshop usually goes to a lathe or milling machine, any workshop worthy of the name also has a host of hand tools and accessories for a vast range of other tasks. Yet these are often supplied without detailed instructions, or without any guidance at all. This guide fills that gap, with practical advice on choosing, using, and even making small workshop tools. With the right advice, you can get better results, make your tools last much longer, and work faster with less effort. Part of the Crowood Metalworking Guides series, it is a beginner-friendly guide that more experienced hands will also find helpful.

Written by Neil Wyatt, an environmentalist ecologist and lifelong model maker who had his first workshop at around the age of fourteen. He enjoys creating unusual working models and making and modifying tools and workshop equipment. He is the editor of the popular magazine Model Engineers’ Workshop, and this is his fourth book for Crowood.
