Neil M. Wyatt . Unknown Year . English
The mini-lathe is a useful tool in the model engineer's workshop. With more choice of more compact machines, a mini-lathe is able to accommodate a wide range of engineering requirements, projects and techniques. This title shows the application of mini-lathe techniques. It is suitable for the engineer and for those with limited workshop space.

About the Author
Neil Wyatt is an environmentalist ecologist and a lifelong model maker – he had his first workshop at the age of about fourteen. He cut his teeth on Airfix models, but branched out into model boats and aircraft (that flew about as well as the boats). In his lathe 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. Whilst not claiming any exceptional talent, he gets great satisfaction from creating unusual working models and making and modifying tools and workshop equipment. His other hobbies include electronics, astronomy (especially astrophotography), playing guitar and bass and, when he has the energy, mountain biking. He somehow manages to combine being an environmental consultant with editing the magazine Model Engineers’ Workshop.
