Anyone have a copy of Making Wooden Mechanical Models by Gill & Alan
Bridgewater they are willing to part with? They are out of print and
rather scarce. I think they shipped with a book club in the late 90's.

Thanks, my budget can't quite cut the $70 price tag. Perhaps another
time.

Must be a really good book, i checked a few other sites and saw it as
high as $85. Keep checking ebay you might get lucky. Amazon has other
books by them you might be interested in.

But that's $70 Canadian, that makes it only $60.56 US according to

It is excellent. I read it from at the library. It is a bit of a
niche book. I like making examples of mechanical components and this
is a great starter.

I already have
Making Mechanical Marvels in Wood. By Ray Levy

&

Making More Wooden Mechanical Models. By the Bridgewaters.

Both are excellent if you'd like a pretty machine to put on a shelf.
They have great "nifty" appeal. (Though the second reaction is...
"Why did you make that?")
