A great, well written hand-on book that precedes FOURNIER and REMUS on my shelf.
It shies away from using expensive tooling, very "Hands-on", introducing you to traditional tools that will be good enough for even those involved in refurbishing cars.
It was written by a British School Teacher who taught the subject and is typically well organised. It starts off with H&S, Ergonomics (the older I get, the more I am thankful for this!), metals and their behaviour, marking, patterns - and gets steadily deeper.
It probably is too simple for someone who did Engineering and fabrication at A-Level. But is a gift to the rest.
