Hi Simon, that's a really difficult one to answer. So much depends on what you are wanting to do, that you are probably best advised to decide on a project then seek information on that type of project. Harold Hall has been kind enough to make a lot of his work available free: http://www.homews.co.uk/page463.html . Unfortunately it is mostly laid out as projects rather than individual machining techniques, which sometimes makes it a bit hit-and-miss if you are trying to figure out how to perform a specific operation (although he has cross-referenced some common techniques), but I guess if you get stuck you can always come back to this forum for help. Be warned, however, that the machining aspect can become a hobby in itself ;-)
