I've finished reading Edward G. Hoffman's book, Jig and Fixture Design,
3d ed, and enjoyed it. I didn't do any of the exercises, and may need to
work through it again sometime more carefully, but I feel better informed
than I did before I read it.

I've also finished reading Gingery's book on the metal lathe. I think I
learned a lot from it, and will continue to do so. I've ordered the
remaining
books in the series on building your own metal working shop from scrap
metal
and am looking forward to reading them. Meanwhile, I've started reading
and
thinking about the book on the Li'l Bertha electric shop furnace.

What aspects of metalworking are you most interested in, Allan? Those are
both interesting books, but they're aimed in very different directions. Is
there something in particular you're looking for?
