Review – Sink or Swim Metalworking

Recently while walking the aisles of my local book store I stumbled upon a book by Tom Lipton.

I first meet Tom Lipton during the early days of the Metalshapers Yahoo Group. During that time I watched him produce some of the most amazing metal shaping equipment I had ever seen. To call it art would be an understatement.

Now Tom has come out with a book.

Metalworking Sink or Swim – Tips and Tricks for Machinists, Welders, and Fabricators

Toms attention to detail is evident though out the book. Tom provides so many tips and tricks that it is almost overwhelming.
This book is a must have for the beginner and the most experienced of metal workers.
