Workshop Practice Series: The Complete List of Titles
Another incredible source of information for the amateur machinist is the Workshop Practice Series. There are currently over 40 books in the series, covering virtually every aspect of the home workshop. Some aren’t directly related to metalworking, but they are still a good read.
I’ve had trouble tracking down a complete list of the books in the series. Even the publisher’s website (Special Interest Model Books) doesn’t list the books in chronological order. So, for your convenience, here’s a complete list of the books available in the Workshop Practice Series, along with links directly to Amazon:
