like this book

useful and less expensive than other books of the same type

Photos are just not as clear as I have come to expect from anything published after 2000. Information is good, but this is the sort of book that relies on photos and illustrations, and they are far from optimal. Still helpful as a wannabe machinist, so 4 stars.

Very nice it is

This is a somewhat good project book with clear drawings and explanations for a variety of useful tools. But be warned, this isn't a how-to book for beginners, you'll need to pair it with a book on basic machine shop skills.EDIT: Now that I'm actually making projects from this book I'm finding that the diagrams are missing important dimensions.

Enjoy to read and great tips

Good book for the home machinist. Useful projects.
