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. This book presents a
complete guide to building or converting a workshop space and then
equipping it to serve a wide range of metalworking activities
including model engineering, model making, car restoration and
clockmaking. It explains all the essential requirements of the
workshop environment: planning, heating and lighting, condensation
plus health and safety factors. It then explains in detail the
choice of various tools and equipment for differing tasks so the
new workshop owner can avoid making unwise purchases. The book is
based on a very popular series of articles which originally
appeared in the pages of Model Engineers' Workshop magazine, and
which have been revised for publication in this edition.
