This is a re-named copy of an earlier work Readers of Harold Hall will recognize the title "Lathework: A Complete Course (Workshop Practice)"I was hesitant at first, but since I love to collect books on machining, I ordered it. Even though I also ordered the above book from Amazon, they didn't know or bother to warn me that this IS THE SAME BOOK with a different title!Great book, but now I have two versions. This version has a more expensive binding with glossy pages, and was easier to read, but if you have the other, don't buy this one. To sell both of these as though they are different works demons.

The reader advances through a series of practice projects that teach how to use the lathe and develop essential skills through practical application. The wide range of projects provides items that are both interesting to make and useful in the workshop, including a cylindrical square, a between-centers test bar, hole and distance gauges, tailstock die holders, precision tapers, screw jack, two wheel knurling tool, mill drill spindle and more. Lathe owners with more advanced skills will also discover new techniques. Buyers of this book not only get a training manual on using the lathe, but also receive practical instruction on how to apply the knowledge that it presents. Each project is designed to develop essential lathe skills that the reader will use again and again. After completing this course the reader will have amassed a wealth of practical skills and a range of useful workshop tools and equipment. It assumes no prior knowledge and works through the process of using a lathe from beginning to end. A useful companion book to Milling for Home Machinists. All of the projects are extensively illustrated, and full working drawings accompany the text. Metal Lathe for Home Machinists is a project-based course that provides a co
