As a sarcastic critic from time to time may I say how much I appreciated issue 183. Like a lot of us I am more a home workshop type than model engineer (much as I admire good model engineering ) and altho I have 4 lathes none of them is a midgetford , but one is pretty tiny..

Issue 83 had very little on midgetfords and a lot on human sized engineering (pressbrake, workshop floors, pillar tool, rivet shear ,QCTP carousel,

Usually there’s a couple of articles of interest to me but this month , practically every article was of interest.

The Americans have The Home Shop Machinist and Machinists Workshop but in the UK our equivalents all seemed linked to models so it was nice to get an issue with an unusually high percentage of the bigger stuff.

I suppose that the clue to the content lies in the titles of the magazines

Agreed. The point I was making was that we don’t have an equivalent to HSM and MW as far as I am aware. Not that I don’t enjoy MEW , and ME and EIM on the rare occasions I see the latter two. HSM and MW I think are quality mags.( except the ads. are naturally all US based) but expensive in this country and I only buy them occasionally. I think Practical Mechanics (have I got that right ?&nbsp was also American but I have n’t seen a copy of that for years.
