dodgy socks :)
I would not have pegged you as a dedicated follower of fashion, however I must confess I noticed too.
We should be nice to Pippi though.

As for the thread in question then I did not learn since last time and continued to buy books, or in this case a book from a very odd car boot sale I went to during the week. I also reshuffled my book stack so now my room smells of old books and old tools.

The lathe section is actually better than a lot proper engineering books I have

Its section on old soldering methods was worth the price of admission alone. I see the irons of such an era in boxes of old tools from time to time but have thus far not been tempted and reading that I probably never will be.

£1 for that. Did also get a nice plane hone so I do not have to continue using my chisel hone which is great for chisels but not go great for planes. Oh and I found a nice electric motor on the street but I still have to test that.
