A project book including 18 designs for workshop equipment based on the author's popular articles published in Model Engineer's Workshop magazine. The projects are in themselves satisfying exercises in metalworking that once completed will make valuable additions to the model engineer's range of equipment.

This book describes the construction of two different clock projects - an eight day regulator clock and a month going regulator clock - and features full-page fully-dimensionalised working drawings supported by detailed photographs. It also includes instructions and plans for constructing glazed wood cases for each project.

A revolution in radio control aircraft modelling is taking place. Instead of building planes, enthusiasts are buying them off the shelf. This book is a response to the changing market. It aims to provide all the information the budding R/C flyer cannot get from within the packaging of the model he has, or is about to purchase.

Shows the tractors carrying out a wide range of tasks. This book explains what is going on in the pictures. It includes some basic technical specifications such as power outputs so that the reader can compare different tractors and have an idea of the size and capability of each. It presents 41 tractors chosen come from 25 marques.

All types of electric motors for workshop use are described here. Principles, characteristics, operation, installation, speed control, braking etc. plus generators, safety, testing and a useful section on identifying and applying scrap motors.

Sharpening workshop tools is one task 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 simply made accessories to a standard comparable to that achieved using much more sophisticated equipment.

The principles underlying radial work on a metalworking lathe are explained in depth in this book. It covers the methods that can be adopted: from simple applications without specialised equipment to the use of a semi-universal dividing head and a rotary table.

Photo etching in the form of electronic equipment printed circuit boards will be familiar to all modellers. This book covers the less familiar application by model engineers of those same techniques to the design of high-quality graphics and precision production of metal parts for all aspects of model making.

A comprehensive introduction to the milling machine, assuming no previous experience, by one of Model Engineers' Workshop magazine's leading authorities. Eight projects lead prospective model engineers through all of the techniques involved; each project is extensively illustrated with step-by-step photographs and workshop drawings.

Making twenty-two simple but useful adjuncts to the tool kit for bench and lathe use, none taking any more than 3 to 4 hours or involving special materials, yet each able to save considerable time in use as well as aiding accuracy. With working drawings, photographs and sketches etc.

This book assumes no previous experience and using the medium of twelve lathe turning projects will lead prospective model engineers through all of the basic techniques needed to tackle ambitious projects. All of the projects are extensively illustrated and full working drawings accompany the text.

This book covers all aspects from planting the vines through cropping and vinification to enjoying the final product. It will help the amateur to produce high-quality wine from home-grown grapes providing the right varieties are used and the simple rules followed.

Although radio control equipment is readily available, some items can be cheaper to make yourself. Beginning with an overview of the tools required and the construction techniques necessary to build them, the book goes on to give information on how to make a number of essential projects.

Over the past couple of decades radio control equipment has become more reliable, cheaper and smaller. The latter means that large models are no longer required to carry the bulky items that made up early radio control equipment, so smaller models can be built more quickly at a lower cost.

A collection of fifteen invaluable additions to model engineer's armoury of tools and equipment from the former editor of Model Engineer's Workshop magazine. This practical collection covers benchwork, the lathe and milling operations.

A comprehensive book which deals in detail with the design and construction of powered sports model aircraft. It covers everything from material to aerofoil selection, monoplanes to offbeat aircraft, wheel to ski size and the decision of what to build for the first flight.

A very popular title that reprints regularly, it contains full instructions for making real draught ale, bottled and keg beers, lagers and stouts from all over one hundred recipes collected from around the world, all at a fraction of the price you would pay in a pub.

Explanations and reasons for all conventional types of gears are clearly set out in this book together with useful tables and machinery techniques to form an invaluable reference work for anyone dealing with machinery.

Model engineers and many small workshops do not need, or have access to, much of the sophisticated measuring equipment used in industry. Accurate marking out and measurement by more basic means at all stages of work are comprehensively described by an expert engineer.

An introduction to the fascinating world of horology for the complete beginner. This book explains the terminology of the clockmaker and provides general details of clock construction including layout of wheels and escarpments, all of which are fully described and illustrated.

This book covers basic principles of foundrywork - materials and techniques, pattern-making, moulding boxes, cores and core boxes, metals, electric, gas, coke furnaces and step-by-step procedures. Although written primarily for the model engineer, anyone wishing to make mouldings or castings will profit from its pages.

A complete guide to the art and techniques of airbrushing and spray painting. This book will be of immense value to all modellers.

The sheer simplicity of miniature oscillating steam engines has an enduring fascination for all marine and model engineers. This book shows how to build four model steam engines and features designs and plans that even a beginner will be able to follow.

Airflow examines and describes the many ways in which people exploit, harness or confront the physical properties of wind and air. This book will be of great interest to the increasing number of people who are interested in yachting, aeromodelling, ballooning, car racing, parachuting, kite flying, hang gliding, gliding and power flying.

The author covers traditional adhesives, their advantages and shortcomings as well as synthetic products. He also discusses surface preparation, handling hazards, deterioration and sealants for joints exposed to water, steam and oil.

This book is regarded as the perfect introduction to casting work in common metals. This new edition brings everything right up to date additional copy with new photographs and redrawn illustrations of the latest amateur foundry technology.

This work is a highly illustrated general introduction to Ransomes' products, an output that touches on the concerns of a varied range of enthusiasts, including those interested in steam, working horses, tractors and grass-cutting equipment.

Model engineers and amateur metalworkers need to learn the tricks and handwork which experienced engineers take for granted. This book details normal bench practice suitable for engineering apprentices which will save spoiled work and tools.

This title, which replaced the very popular Electroplating for the Amateur, will be of value to model engineers and small workshops wishing to plate with any of the customary metals using simple equipment.

A comprehensive exposition of the structure of steels and the effects of different heat treatments, particularly in respect of tools. With accurate colour temperature charts.
