Fortunately,I have found a few excuses to bring thetwo together, along with my interestin electronics. Although my telescopecame with a very nice mount, the tripodleft quite a lot to be desired in thestiffness department. Various actionsincluding filling part of the legs withsand, adding extra clamps to the legsand solidly fixing the hinge blocks to thetop of the legs have made a significantdifference. I also got a chance to try outthe aluminium welding wire I obtainedat Harrogate, welding a simple braceplate to one of the tripod legs. I woulddo the other two legs, but for now thetripod seems to be behaving. The part ofthe upgrade that involved some accurateturning and threading was to makea swing-clear gearbox for a steppermotor and a control box. Anyone whohas ever use a powerful telescopewill recognise the urgency with whichplanets and stars want to slip out of thefield of view. The ‘right ascension drive’allows the scope to follow objects likethe moon and planets around the skyat an appropriate speed. With a littlepride, I present a couple of my picturesalthough they pale by comparisonto what some other amateurs haveachieved. Saturn is currently due southaround midnight, the final picture showsthe Jupiter’s moon Io casting its shadowon the giant planet.On theBACK ISSUES & BINDERSMODEL ENGINEERING PLANSEDITORIALA Tall StoryI rather like Laurie Leonard’s coolantpliers in this issue, although I don’tuse flood coolant in my workshop.My teenage daughter has a giraffe,Georgie, who she has had since shewas a baby. Several years ago, Georgiesuffered a serious injury and in mybattle to heal him I discovered he hasan ‘endoskeleton’ made of coolanthose. All my efforts to cure his crickedneck failed, and now he has a ‘BarrySheene’ style steel rod within his neck‘vertebrae’. My recommendation is thatall zoo vets obtain a pair of Laurie’spliers!PRODUCTIONADVERTISINGMARKETING & SUBSCRIPTIONSSubscription Manager:Kate ScottHead of Design & Production:Julie MillerGroup Advertising Manager:Rhona BolgerEmail: rhona.bolger@mytimemedia.comTel: 01689 869891Chief Executive:Owen DaviesChairman:Peter HarknessMANAGEMENTPhoto CompetitionWell, what a turn up for the books!

AsMEWis now a four-weekly, rather than quarterly publication theexact anniversary is debatable! Rather than worrying aboutthis, we are marking the event in a number of ways, themost significant of which is the collectable 25 Years of ModelEngineers’ Workshop special. You should be able to get a copyof this at your local newsagent or WH Smiths, but if not there’san order form in this issue or visitwww.myhobbystore.co.ukand put ‘25 years’ into the search box.This month we have a special article by Dave Fenner, oneof our past editors, who takes a look at how the hobby haschanged in those 25 years. I hope you agree that he offersan interesting perspective. Looking back at early issues Ithink my over-riding impression is how little prices, new orsecond-hand, have changed since the 1990s. Clearly this is good news for anyonesetting up a workshop but it does highlight the challenges facing the dedicatedsuppliers we rely on to support our hobby.July 20153TEEPublishing LtdSpecialist Publishers of Technical and Modelling Books for over 50 yearsWe offer one of the most extensive ranges of new, rare and out ofprint books and magazines in the world.

Vastnumbers of drawings of set-ups, rather than photographs and, as the textis based on ‘Questions and Answers’, it is very much to the point; it is alsostrong where practices have changed. Whilst American, a whole host ofmanufacturers have been consulted in its preparation, includingColchester and Myford, and variations in practice between countries arecovered. The spread of this book is well illustrated by the Chapters:Measurement Tools,Layout & Job Planning, Basic Hand Tools, Filing & Sawing, Grinding, Reaming, Broaching & Lapping,Drills & Drilling Operations, Threads & Threading, Turning Operations, Milling Operations,Fastening Methods, Machine Shop Steel Metallurgy, Safety & Good Shop Practices, OtherShop Know-howandSharpening Steel Lathe Tools.This isn’t cheap, but the quality of theinformation is priceless, especially if you have just shelled out large sums of money formachinery. For the newcomer this book will be invaluable - even if you have been in theworkshop man-and-boy you will much of it useful. Highly recommended - as if youcouldn’t guess that. 518 pages. 497 drawings, plus tables. Paperback.MINIATURESTEAM SERVICESCAD for the WorkshopHughes•£18.19“... this practical guide gives a thorough introduction to the technologyand how to greatly enhance design and manufacture in the workshop”.It certainly is very informative, and a good starting point if you wish tolearn about computer aided design, in both two and three dimensionalforms. 112 pages. 210 colour illustrations. Hardback.MAIL ORDER to:- Barrow Farm Rode Frome Somerset BA11 6UB Tel: 01373-830151CNC Milling in the WorkshopBowman•£18.19CNC control of milling machines is now available in a size that meansthey can be used in the smallest of workshops, allowing the user to bemore ambitious in producing different items, and especially in theproduction of multiple items. The author takes a practical approach tothe different aspects of CNC milling work showing you how to make fulluse of your machine.A word of caution:- this book is not aimed at the complete beginner,it makes the assumption that you have a CNC enabled milling machine which is set up,and have a basic idea as to what you are doing on a computer. If this is the case, thisbook is a must-have tool. Included within the book is a guide to the majorCAD/CAM/CNC software such as Mach3, LinuxCNC and Vectric packages, as well as alarge number of practical projects in each section; we highly recommend this book if youwant to go electronic. 144 pages profusely illustrated with loads of colour photographs,diagrams, charts and so on. Hardbound.Machine Shop KNOW-HOWMarlow•£44.60Every now and again a book crosses the desk which rocks our socks off(to use a modern expression). ‘Machine Shop Essentials’ (above) was one,and if it is possible, this is even better. Here are ‘The Tips and Techniquesof Master Mechanics’, and the chapter titles will give a good idea of thisbook’s scope:Setting Up Shop, Metals, Alloys, Oils & Hardness Testing, Tapers,Dowel Pins, Fastners & Key Concepts, Filing & Grinding, Drilling, Reaming &Tapping, Bandsaws, Lathes, Milling MachinesandMachine Shop Problem Solving.Nophotographs, but nearly 600 specially drawn drawings compliment the very clear expla-nations. As with the earlier volume this really will be invaluable to the newcomer tomodel engineering, but we are certain even a highly experienced engineer will findvaluable hints, tips and ideas in this book’s 520 pages. Larger format paperback.3D-Printers A Beginner’s GuideBothmann•£12.053D Printers are already revolutionising all forms of engineering and, withprinter prices coming down rapidly, they are coming in to the realm ofthe model engineer; purists may look at them aghast, but they are here, sowhy not learn how to use them? This book is a good starting point, as itgives a wide overview of the process, the hardware and software required,and gives tips and tricks for the practical application of this excitingtechnology. Be in on the ground floor! 126 pages, 175 colour illustrations. Paperback.Welding Know-HowMarlow•£44.60We have offered a number of welding books - all good in their differentways, but here is a book which covers every aspect of soldering, brazing,welding and cutting by electrical, gas and combined means. It comes fromFrank Marlow, author of two books above, and anyone who has either ofthese will know what to expect; wall to wall information, backed up bynumerous very clear drawings, rather than photographs. If you buy justone book on joining metal, this is the one! 544 pages. Over 500 line drawings. Paperback.The EDM How-To BookFleming•£22.05The strength of this book lies in the care the author takes explaining howto deal with the electronics and electrics, on the assumption that thereare likely to be more engineers with minimal electronics experience,rather than the other way round, building this machine - which isn’t to saythat the mechanical bits aren’t also good. EDMs are very useful machinesand making one is an interesting process, which produces something youwill end up wondering how you survived before you had it. This is an American book, sothe voltages differ from most norms, but the author assures us the adjustments for highermains voltages are minor. 168 page paperback full of drawings, diagrams and photos.Advanced Machine Work1925•Smith•£31.55Originally “prepared for students in technical, manual training, and tradeschools and for the apprentice and the machinist in the shop”. Thebeginner may find this book a bit heavy going, until they have done somemachining and outgrown first books, but within the 800 pages is anincredible amount of information on machining operations of all sorts -this title comes nearer to “containing it all” that any other book we know!800 pages, 1000s of illustrations, tables etc. Hardbound.Build a Pulse EDM Machine ~ The Next GenerationFleming•£28.05The EDM book above has been a consistent seller, and if you just wantan EDM to remove the occasional broken tap or drill, then it is justthe job. But if you want a machine capable of much finer work, whichcan be used to burn reverse artistic images into tool steel for mouldsor the like, then you need a Pulse EDM, in which the spark is controlledby a timer and power Mosfets. Normally only available as veryexpensive machines, here genius Ben Fleming describes how you can make your ownPulse EDM at reasonable cost. You will have to have some electronics knowledge (oracquire it), as well as mechanical engineering, but this is a great project. 128 page largeformat paperback, full of drawings, schematics and B&W photographs.Machine Shop Methods1950•Milne•£18.85Dave Gingery reckoned this was the best beginner’s machine-work bookhe had seen, and it certainly is good. The majority of the chapters areconcerned with using the lathe, but others cover the drilling machine, theshaper, the milling machine and the grinder. And there are other chapterson holding the workpiece, useful tools and fixtures - full drawings for alarge number of items, gears and gear cutting, cutting speed and finish,accuracy and materials. The illustrations (all drawings) are very clear and the text isconcise and to the point. 376 very heavily illustrated pages. Paperback.How I Pour Babbitt BearingsGingery•£ 8.65In this book Vince Gingery gives a brief look at this type of bearing andthen gets down to the business of explaining how to clean old bearings,re-metal them and prepare them for re-fitting. Usual clear and conciseGingery information. 43 well produced pages. 59 photos and drawings.Paperback.Metal Turning on the LatheClark•£18.19Very good and clear book for the beginner who wants to make a startin lathework.Written by a former editor ofModel Engineers Workshop,itgoes from thoughts on buying that first lathe to installing it, cutting toolprinciples, how to sharpen and hold tools, workholding, turning betweencentres and on the faceplate, collets and mandrels, right up to taps, diesand screwcutting. Good text, numerous excellent colour photographs of actions and set-ups, and some B&W drawings. 109 page hardback.Tricks & Secrets of Old-Time MachinistsVol. 1•1916•£ 9.90Vol. 2•1915 &1916•£ 9.90Vol. 3•1915 &1916•£ 9.90Vol. 4•1912, 1918 &1919•£ 9.90If you were on the shop floor of an engineers some ninety-five plus yearsago, chances are you read AMERICANMACHINISTMAGAZINEwhenever youcould get hold of a copy.. One of its most useful features were Hints andTips provided by the readers, all experienced machinists, and these booksprovide a selection of the bumper number that appeared between 1912 & 1919 - around300 of them, the vast majority illustrated. And they are GOOD! Don’t let their age putyou off; most are as useful now as when they were written. Many of these articles dealwith machines and parts larger than the norm for model engineers, but it is the underlyingidea that counts. More useful ideas per book than we have seen for years - and at abargain price! Each has 96 very well illustrated pages. Paperback.Milling (David Clark)Clark•£18.19Another very good and clear book for the beginner who wants to makea start in milling. As well as providing guidance of what sort of millingmachine to buy, the installing and setting up of the machine itself is cov-ered, as are the principles involved, the various cutters and how andwhen to use them, setting up work, work holding, using rotary tablesand dividing heads etc. Hard to beat as a guide for the beginner. 110 pages, numerouscolour photographs, sketches and drawings.
