You might want to keep an eye out for "Jigs and Fixtures" by Colvin & Haas
and published by McGraw-Hill Book Company. The copy I have is copyrighted
1943, but also bears dates going back to 1913. You should be able to find a
copy for $10 or so.

I've finished reading Joe Martin's book, Tabletop Machining, and also
The Mini Power Tool Handbook, by Taylor and Bullock. Now I'd
like to read a book about how one designs jigs and fixtures in metal
work. I found a lot of books on jigs and fixtures by searching at Amazon.
Some of them clearly identify the book as being for woodworking. I didn't
find any that clearly identify the book as being for metal work. Maybe
that
doesn't matter but I think it probably does.

Can someone recommend some books that explain how one designs jigs and
fixtures for metal work?

Ignorantly,
Allan Adler
