OVERVIEW
James Harvey has written an excellent book
that fills a void in
current metalworking instructional books. Most
textbooks are
aimed at the beginner in the machining trade and cover basic
work practice admirably. What textbooks do not do is sit you
down with a
veteran of the trade who can fill you in on the tips
and tricks that allow
working faster, accurately and intelligently.
What amazed me is at how all
these tips are not recycled
versions of the ones we are all
familiar with (as published by
Lindsay's books and others) but
are new tips, all useful and
pertinent to the tools and methods
of today.
