I've started acquiring some books for learning this hobby. I'm going to get one of the following three this month while I wait to save $$$ for my first lathe. The $100 granddaddy Machinery Handbook will have to wait for now. The three I'm considering are:
Home Machinist's Handbook by Doug Briney
Machinists Ready Reference by C. Weingartner
Model Engineer's Handbook (Paperback) by Tubal Cain
Any suggestions or comments as to the value that any or all of these books would be to a beginner, like myself, would be appreciated. I have already gotten these books:
How to Run a Lathe A South Bend Lathe Works Publication
Simple Model Steam Engines Vols 1 & 2 Tubal Cain
Model Stationary and Marine Engines KN Harris
The Model Engineers Workshop Manual Geo H Thomas
Model Engineering-A foundation course Peter Wright
An Elementary Text-Book A hand Book on the Steam Engine HHP Powels
Steam Engines Principles and Practice Terrell Croft
I'm learning a lot of good basics in techniques and theory from these but am always looking for more. Thanks in advance for your guidance. I sincerely appreciate the help you all have given me thus far and value your opinions.
