This book is a practical guide to selecting, setting up and using an engineer' s lathe to create parts specifically for clockmaking or clock repairs. It begins as an instructional manual and consequently the first chapter assumes that the reader does not yet have a lathe and needs advice on choosing one. With over 160 diagrams and photographs, topics include: choosing and setting up the lathe; turning - materials and facing; boring and milling techniques; chucks, collets and face-plates; creating a height-centring gauge; pivots, wheels and pinions; removing and mounting gear wheels; fly cutters; making a flat depthing tool and, finally, creating centre marking tools. The intent is to provide a gentle learning curve for the practical use of the lathe. AUTHOR: Laurie Penman was born into a family of engineers, architects and surgeons. His first attempt at turning was making of a knob for the shoe polish box using an engineer' s hand drill and an old file, when he was nine. After school he became a junior draughtsman, took an apprenticeship, and became a clockmaker. He has published many books on clockmaking and also taught the subject both the UK and the USA. 182 colour photographs
