Not strictly a book, but Model Engineering Workshop is quite a good read. based on peoples projects, with some articles on basics. I just subscribed to the online version and I have access to even the back issues. Slowly making my way through them.

Depends on what your actually looking for. I've got a very old edition of the machery handbook because the stuff I care about doesn't change. I got it on ebay for about $20 delivered, much better than $200!
But it's a reference book. If your looking for reading material and examples I don't know sorry. I am used to using the texts I learned on so I just go back to them.
I do have a text on mechanisms which I find very handy. It gives examples of each machine and coupling so you can accomodate any sort of movement, but I forget the name. I'll look tonight if your interested.I'm just a startled bunny in the headlights of life. L.J. Young.

Mark you've lost me. Are they sections from a later TAFE book? They don't coincide with my 1986 volume 1, though very similar material would be covered. Your edit makes them sound like separate titles.

The ones I have are TAFE books from 1976 published for the Department of Employment and Industrial Relations by the Australian Government Publishing Service. Yes they are separate titles about 60 pages each. My Local TAFE library turfed out a full set as they said something about "Needing to keep the books turning over and these ones weren't being borrowed enough"

Interesting. I guess the books evolved from those course notes, and the 3 books later converged. My vol 2 is the same as Phil's, my vol 1 is similar vintage and looks later than Phil's vol 1.
Phil are those your own copies or are they the ones that are available? I guess there won't be much difference between editions of the 3 volume version. That's why I said any vol 3 would do.
Mark, thanks for the kind offer. Sourcing the third book would be the simplest solution. If I were starting again I would just buy the single volume edition.
Hope this is not derailing Mike's thread too much.
Edit: Mike's V1 is the same as mine. Dunno what the lathe is but it looks like the same one in the line drawing on Phil's V1.

No one has mentioned the 3 volume "Workshop Technology" series by Chapman. A little dated (published in the 1970s) I see copies of volume 1 are still available - even brand new copies! but volumes 2 and 3 are rarer. PDFs of part one are also available.
These books cover just about everything in a metal shop and are my goto reference for just about everything I do. They are also relatively easy to read.
