Hi Ken;

Surf on over to http://www.industrialpress.com

I would highly recommend getting the two volume set 'Machine Shop Training Course Vol I+II' first, before the Machinery's handbook (which assumes too much prior knowledge to be overly useful to a beginner). The 2 vol set is also much cheaper than the Handbook ($45 for the pair vs. $90 for the handbook, although the previous edition is on sale right now for $50)

Then I would get a copy of 'Table Top Machining' by Joe Martin (http://www.sherline.com); $40. This is a great practical guide to making things (albeit small) on machine tools. All the techniques carry over to larger sizes.

Then, if you are really interested, I recommend 507 Mechanical Movements by Henry Brown. Published in 1897 (that is not a typo), it has been reprinted by the Astragal Press (they have a website, but I don't have it handy right now). About $25. Will give you all sorts of ideas on things to make :-)

Lastly, the 4 volume set 'Ingenious Mechanisms for Designers and Inventers'. This one is invaluable for robot building :-)

I hope this list is useful. Feel free to emal me if you want to discuss the list...
