The shop wisdom of Frank McLean by Frank Allen McLean

Most home workshops evolve without any master plan, and mine is now exception. Fortunately, most amateur machinist are good horse traders who are always on the lookout for a bargain. The basic needs for a home shop are simple: a sturdy workbench with a proper machinist's vise with jaws 4" to 6" wide, a lathe, and then a milling machine. With these tools, almost anything is possible.

If space or funds are very limited, a lathe can do everything, but milling is difficult, so one of the new mill/drill-type machine tools will be a good investment, and can be used as a drill press.

I mention these basic tools because a young chap starting out with a family, a mortgage, car payments, and more, may become discouraged when he looks at the marvelous home workshops shown in Live Steam or The Home Shop Machinist magazines.

I was six or seven years old when my father started to take me and my brother to Bill Leggett's "Toad Swamp and Punk Hallow Railroad" at his house in St. Lanbert, Montreal, Canada.

This was about 1933 or '34. As far as I can remember, we had a shop at home. My father started me on the lathe when I was nine or ten years old. He had a series of small English lathes.

I finished high school, and then completed a four-year machine shop course at the old Montreal Technical School. This was a very thorough course, and it's hard to find courses today in the technical schools that are comparable. I have worked as a machinist, toolmaker, foreman, setup man on screw machines, inspector, draftsman, and machine shop teacher. I am nearing retirement now from Lee Valley Tools, in Ottawa, Ontario, where I'm a tool designer.

I call my home shop "The Hermitage" for it is a great retreat from the cares of daily living. I'm also building a railway in 1 1/2 " scale at the back of our lot, with trestles, buildings, and whatever else seems appropriate. This will depict a small branch line during the 1890s, and will be appropriately named the "Frog Pond & Mosquito Haven Railway."
