This collection of 18 unique projects for home workshop equipment enables the model engineer to create useful and even essential items that cannot be purchased commercially, including an auxiliary workbench, tap holders, distance and height gauges, a lathe back stop, a tailstock die-holder, faceplate clamps, collets, DTI accessories, sash clamps, low profile clamps and a tapping stand.
Each project is designed to make the model engineer's task in hand easier then it would have been had the items not been made.

In this valuable book Tubal Cain takes the reader beyond the
superficial or the simply practical with explanations of the
composition of steel, its additives, and the effects of different
temperatures on its constituents. With a grasp of what changes are
actually taking place in the metal the care needed in following the
practical processes described becomes understandable and will lead
to better and more consistent results. Flame, salt bath and furnace
heating are detailed, with information on accurate measurement or
recognition of temperature levels. For the average small workshop
operative or model engineer the discourses on tool material,
hardening and tempering will be of most use, and in this connection
this book replaced the author's earlier Hardening and Tempering
Engineers' Tools, providing a broader-based, more detailed and up
to date examination of the subject.
