  • Choosing a mini-lathe.
  • Workshop saafety and setting up the lathe.
  • Basic through to more advanced machining skills.
  • Modifications, additions and tuning of the mini-lathe.

About the Author

Neil M Wyatt is an environmentalist, ecologist and a lifelong model maker - he had his first workshop at the age of fourteen. He cut his teeth on Airfix models, but branched out into model boats and aircraft. In his late thirties he discovered a pile of ageing Model Engineer magazines and decided to take up the 'ultimate hobby' - making working things entirely from scratch - and bought a lathe. He is currently Editor of the magazine Model Engineers' Workshop.
