--- Quote from: gerritv on June 20, 2016, 08:04:45 AM ---Thanks a lot guys!http://madmodder.net/Smileys/default/happy0034.gif I just bought a set of Engineering Workshop Practice (3 Volume Set) and Advanced Machine Work, should be here in a week. I will also be watching more closely the local auction house for books, usually I just get tools there (recently an 11 drawer Kennedy loaded with Dormer taper reamers and counter bores, mills and drills for CAD110) Gerrit --- End quote --- Ooooh your doomed now Gerrit doomed I tell ya :Doh: "I have just bought " thats how it started with me :D Rob :thumbup: |

It's too late! Plus I have the additional problem/risk of also being Dutch. While this makes me try to spend wisely, it also means a lot larger pool of books :-) E.g. The first two are from my uncle who worked at KLM before and during WWII, the last 2 are my dad's carpentry textbook from 1930. Both amazingly useful, esp the carpentry one for joints and making window frames waterproof, a skill seemingly lost in the 21st century. |

Very nice GERRITV. St.Catherines is a good drive, Just the kind of thing I can add to my (too few) used book tours. Cheers CB |

The 3 volume Engineering Workshop Practice is very worthwhile. Some serious reading coming up. |

Very nice gerritv, excellent condition. Look like the same vintage as my set. If you like more modern sets, but still pre-automation, you will love these 2 sets. Should be more available in good condition. Cheers CB |
