machining for dummies literature?

[cstmp8r]

I am curious to know if there is any good mill/lathe books out there (machining for dummies ;)) to read for a newbie. I have been into rc for quite some time but i have never played around with any machining tools and to be honest i am tired of drooling over others sweet projects. Thanks in advance for any reply's.

This whole Forum (Tools, and Procedures) is worth rereading.

A very good book targeted at the beginning hobbiest is written by the owner of Sherline, Joe Martin, called Tabletop Machining.

Oops! Sorry. I did look to see if you mentioned it in that thread. I didn't realize that the link pops you into the middle of the thread, I only scrolled down when looking, didn't notice there were posts above as well.
