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.
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. It covers scratch building, kits and mixing the
two. The first six chapters are devoted to tugs in general,
arranged by the duties for which each type of tug is designed.
Subsequent chapters cover the details of scale modelling. This book
is an enlargement and substantial revision of the tug material
which appeared in the author's previous book Scale Model Tugs &
Trawlers (Nexus Special Interests, 1999). Illustrated with original
photographs and plans, it has been compiled from a wealth of
practical experience and material gathered by experienced
professional ship modeller Tom Gorman.
