The Machinist's Bedside Reader

Good Morning All

This carries on from Mick's comments regarding strops.

There is a series of books available titled:

"The Machinist's Bedside Reader"

They are written by Guy Lautard whom comes Canada and are all about making things in metal workshops. Plus a few stories. And Vol I or II has a piece on making strops.

They are sort of thing that someone who likes playing in their workshop or reads model engineering magazines would enjoy.
