• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Old Books

These two old books are from my Grandfathers estate. He was a mechanic but had an interest in machining.
I suspect that the first book would have been a requirement for a machinist at some point early in his/her apprenticeship.
Around 1400 pages copyright January 1 1941.
I see a reprint is available on Amazon.com.

The Starret tool catalog is dated 1935 and is very brittle and fragile.
If only the prices were the same today.

I have a number of Audel's books - a really cool one on early Marine Engineering......I should check out what is on that shelf at home! nice books to have !!
 
I have the same Audel book and steam engineering books 2 with some foldout ( 3’x3’ ) diagrams although my son scooped them for his bookshelf! Lol
 
Ahh...back in the day of real leather bound books. Nice memories you have there.
