FA - rather cool 1946 popular science home worshop book with someinteresting lathe work
 

here's the ebay link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=300260724905

it has a nice project for an inlaid lamp (we might call it segmented
turning now, but it's not quite that) - and it has other lathe tips
and hints along with all the stuff you would expect from that vintage
of popular science - WWII - I normally wouldn't post this kind of
thing here but I figure some of you would enjoy the lathe projects.
