The book meets three needs that are common to almost all hobby metalworkers, and especially beginners. They are: A better understanding of what accessories and small tools are available, helping you choose the ones that can make a real difference to the way you work. Guidance on how to get the best out of hand tools and accessories, including how to take care of them and prolong their working life. How to make a range of practical, effective small tools and accessories, with emphasis on those that cannot be simply or cheaply obtained ready-made, including simple workshop-made cutters and a robust boring head.
