The Amateur's Lathe

I am new to machining and buy a lot of reference books. This one is well written and should help me learn to use a metal lathe. I watch a lot of you tube videos and read everything I can find. I am finding machinist work to be much more technical than woodworking and need all the help I can find.

I purchased my copy 20 years ago when I got into machining as a hobby. It is a very useful text when you know zero about running a lathe. I have since bought three more copies and given them to friends that got into machining as well.

The original printing of this book dates back 65 years, therefore it looks somehow antiquated. Nevertheless it gives a good overview of how to use a lathe for all kinds of projects wihout spending too much money.
