Can anybody recommend an ebook to help me re-learn good workshop practice. I an bringing a very tired 1961 Boxford CSB 4 1.2" lathe* back from the dead (on a shoestring) and will have lots of questions I'm sure.

One question, (and this one might seem silly) what is the correct way to move the v belt between pulleys? The tension lever works fine but it's nearly 50 years since I did any 'proper' engineering in a workshop so how to do it safely?

* Recovered from a shed behind a school, the Head of CDT was a mate and gave it to me after a random conversation 20 years ago. Finally getting some time to do something with it in this enforced isolation,
