I am looking for books written by German or Swiss Machinist,I don't care if there in english or if there old.I have found a lot of books, you can read for free on Archive.Some books were written over a 100 yrs ago and are still worth reading.However,i'm finding it more of a challenge to find books written in German or by a swiss authour.

Stefan is contactable, he just gets many many emails, so short and too the point questions with a specific subject line are the best way to get in touch with him.

Wow those pictures are pretty neat!Theres a couple of different scrapers I find interesting, one almost looks or shaped like a pallet knife used by oil painters the other is trianagler shaped.Do you know how to use those?I learned of you by watching ABOM79,he did your course and mentioned it on his video.I have to say he's another favorite of mine to watch.Hey,Mr.King I appreciate your help and Ill save your email.BTW whats the name of the books you have posted in pictures?

Adam has taken 3 classes, 1 at Keith Ruckers shop and 2 down in Florida. I know about the you tube shows. I do not have the books, those are pages a student sent me 10 years ago. I think you would get better results asking for books at a site like Scribbs or a library in Germany.

I bought a German built horizontal boring mill this summer and have had a hard time finding any substantial amount of information about the company that built it, or even about German machine tool manufacturing in general. Maybe I haven’t been searching correctly. Good luck in your search!
