This book is universally known as the 'winemaker's bible'. This new, completely updated edition with a total sales record of over 3 million copies sold, sets out in metric, imperial and American measures some 150 detailed recipes, all arranged in the months best suited for their making so that winemaking can be pursued all year round.

This book is a thorough and practical discourse on how to use the lathe for all types of milling work. Next to turning, the most valuable use of the lathe is for milling operations, either using the lathe itself to drive the cutters or by extending its scope by adding a separate milling attachment.

This book tackles advanced theory and practice for the maritime modeller and the author's own philosophy on model-making. Largely based on the author's own very complicated modelling projects, including Victorian warships, 20th century warships, as well as scale model RNLI lifeboats.

This book is a complete course on using and improving the new generation of budget lathes. It explains everything from setting up and 'tuning' the machine for best performance to using accessories and carrying out tasks.

Full size photocopiable plans for eight flying models using carbon dioxide power. These classic facsimile designs originally appeared in Aeromodeller magazine between 1981 and 1987.

This book is based upon a compilation of articles by Eric Coates in Aeromodeller from the early 1970s. He was a successful competitor and pathfinder in the development of scale accuracy and these articles remain a leading source of practical advice on how to build and fly a scale model aeroplane.

This is the definitive guide to the art, aimed at not only the experienced turner but also at the novice. Tom Walshaw provides comprehensive chapters on purpose -built ornamental lathes, essential accessories, using cutting and decorative tools plus detailed information about screw threads and templates.
