The book deals with electricity in the garage or home workshop and includes everything from fitting a 13 amp plug, fusing, equipment, lighting, fixtures, fittings and wiring for 240 volts mains electricity to wiring up a new workshop building.

This book deals with all aspects of the lathe covering the selection of a machine and its construction, including modern types of machine as well the more traditional models. All aspects of tooling, both traditional and modern are covered in depth, as are all machining operations.

Making a major purchase of a lathe, a milling machine or combination lathe/mill is a daunting prospect for any model engineer. This book provides practical advice on how to make the selection and provides descriptions and technical data about the wide range of machines and accessories available.

A round-the-year guide to wine and beer making at home, covering dry and sweet wines, beers, lagers, liqueurs and fortified wines. The author explains basic winemaking and brewing principles and then presents seventy-five easy-to-follow original recipes.

An experienced wine maker and judge draws on his life's work and the work of commercial vintners to give his views of methods that will improve on standard winemaking techniques.

This superb book was initially published in 1998 and has been out of print for several years. This new edition has been updated to show the most recent developments in all areas relating to the heavy horse industry.

When Harold Hall was Editor of Model Engineer's Workshop magazine, he was surprised by how just so many of his readers had no access to a workshop at home, or even at college. His new book is a complete guide to building or converting and equipping a workshop space.

A collection of photographs about Suffolk railways. It includes the trains themselves, the crews and the stations, shunting with horses, loading at the docks and accidents and aftermaths.

A practical illustrated guide to making scale model tug boats, offering information and guidance in line with the very latest developments in tug technology and design, and modern advances in model building.

The range of manufacturers is surprisingly wide, including: Case, Claas, Deutz-Fahr, International Harvester, John Deere, Laverda, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, Ransomes, Sampo and Wintersteiger. This book shows 43 combine harvesters.

A complete introduction to the process of the grinding and polishing of metals that gives specific details of the equipment and devices needed and the materials used to make grinding wheels, belts and papers.

Offers a fresh look at the author's cartoons and writings about his fondest enemy: the mule yow (or sheep to anyone living south of Tow Law).

Looks at some more well-known breeds and cross-breeds, some minority breeds which were once seen everywhere and a few rare breeds which have to be seen to be believed. This book offers a brief description of each sheep's appearance and its place in history. It explains the status of the breed in the UK and its uses in farming.

Contains a comprehensive range of mathematical data which is required in the metalworking workshop and by those designing a wide range of engineered items, tools and machines. This book provides in a single concise volume that is otherwise only available by reference to many different sources.

This practical book describes the wide range of bearings found in different types of models built in home workshops. It reviews the choice of bearings, materials, the type of bearing to use for each particular application and highlights the differences between home made and off-the-shelf bearings.

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.

This book describes the many and varied materials used by model engineers in their workshops such as ferrous and non-ferrous metals, hard and soft woods, plastics, abrasives, adhesives, bearing materials, ceramic and refractory materials, castings, electroplating solutions, fuels, gases, lubricants, pickles, polishing materials, sealants and solder

In this new book Jack draws our attention to 44 breeds in need of protection. They are all native to the UK and most of the breeds featured have less than 1,000 breeding females remaining. Following the style of his previous book, Jack's concise texts explain each breed's history, appearance and uses today.

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.

Electronic and electromechanical control of machinery and equipment in the factory environment has been commonplace for many years and is finding its place in the model engineer's workshop. This book gives the theoretical and practical details of electronic circuits that can be used to control machinery for the model engineer and 'inventor'.

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.

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.
