The Shop Wisdom of Rudy Kouhoupt Three by Rudy Kouhoupt

We are thrilled to be presenting yet another book with the name Rudy Kouhoupt on the cover. His name has been synonymous with fine machining and innovative design that is both simple and efficient. His articles feature articulate text, crisp and exact drawings and sharp photographs that leave nothing to the imagination - nothing to become puzzled about.

Rudy Kouhoupt has stepped up his tempo. In 1989, Village Press published his first Shop Wisdom book, which was the accumulation of published work from 1983 to 1989. Then, just seven short years later, we published his Volume Two of the Shop Wisdom series. Now here we are just six years later with Volume Three!

Even more startling is that not a single project has been duplicated in all those years - not even an upgrade of an older project. Rudy is one of the most remarkable people I have ever met either within or outside of the machinist fraternity. His manner of operation, either in his little workshop or in other aspects of his life, is beautifully ordered. Things happen in a systematic fashion - first things first, in perfectly logical order. When he decides to fabricate something new, his concept is first tested on paper. Drawings are the first concrete steps after he has a clear mental image of the product. Doing his machining from the drawings (rather than doing the drawings after the project has been completed) has saved him countless hours of miscalculation, spoiled parts, and frustration. Because this has been his modus operandi left from the start, you will not find any mistakes in his drawings - not in any of his books or articles. Every part in his finished projects was fabricated from a drawing. A fin shed tool, jig, fixture or model engine -each one working perfectly - is the proof of the success of his method.

Rudy is also a kindhearted individual. I stand next to him at the various hobby expositions (NAMES, PRIME and Cabin Fever); he is a careful listener, and is very interested in the work of the countless others who come to visit him. And he's extremely helpful when a struggling machinist steps forward with an unfinished project that won't work yet. Many people call him friend - me among them. He is what I call world class, and, as you will see in the following pages, his work reflects that in every respect. I won't be surprised to see another volume of The Shop Wisdom of Rudy Kouhoupt even sooner than six years. This man is a dynamo! I know you will enjoy and appreciate every page.
