| Two shop masters: [magazine articles] |
This book contains the final legacy of two author / machinists who were indeed giants among all those who have provided material to get into print. The first section is from Frank McLean. His designs were elegantly simple and functional, easy to understand and to build. His section of this book deals with making your own tools, jigs, and fixtures, with a few machine tool accessories thrown in for good measure. The second part the book features the final work of Philip Duclos. Five cleverly designed and diverse engines for you to build. One is an unusual steam engine with several frantically oscillating cylinders, and the other four are unique hit 'n miss engines that will challenge your skill and imagination. Wherever you turn in this book, you'll find the shop wisdom and joie de vivre in the workshop that each man carried with him through life.
