That is right! This is great stuff! Tons of stuff on machine shop stuff and etc. Take your time and look some over if you never have! The Popular Mechanics Magezine of today is a shell and a joke compared to what it once was! Check it out!

BTW: I STOLE THIS FROM SHOP FLOOR TALK! EXCUSE ME NOW, I AM HEADING BACK FOR ANOTHER!

Thanks to a posting in the Metal Shaper group, I found that Google
Books has posted most of the available copies of this magazine
1900-2000+ and POPULAR SCIENCE 1870-2000+ on line. It is totally FREE.
Each entire issue includes all the advertisements and can be scanned
for key words such as "lathe" or "welding". It might take years but I've been
scanning each issue for lathe, shaper, mill, and milling to find all
the projects discussed here, in the past. Have fun reading! Bob, The New Guy

Cool! Thanks for sharing the link.

I have a box full of these from 1969/70/71 that are fun to look through. A simpler time...

May 1983 year and month of my birth apparently was when the brooklyn bridge turned 100 years old.

This stuff is priceless. Just read Oct 66 and the reviews of all the new 67 cars. Including the "new" Camaro and Cougar.

Plus mud bog racing circa 66 and other gems.

I'll have to look harder maybe, but I could only find a single issue of Popular Science. Still, having all the PM available is pretty cool.

Edit: I found the PS magazines, but not listed in chronological order.

If you want a Popular Science link I think I found one for that too. I was always more of a PM guy myself, but I will get and post the link for PS that I found at the other site too.

Thanks. I like both magazines, but lean more towards PS. I have a pretty complete collection of them from around 1949 up through the 1960s, with a few older ones going back to 1929. I like them for the Gus Wilson and the Model Garage stories, as well as the columns by Smokey Yunick in the 1960s. (by the way, most of those Gus Wilson stories are online, at http://www.gus-stories.org/ and http://www.brakecylinder.com/GusWilson/)

Thanks - that is awesome. I can't believe the amount of info available and being added all the time. The problem (I find) about magazines and such online is that's it's harder to read on the screen...I see many magazine are offering net issues (e-zines), but I still prefer to wait for the hardcopies in my mailbox!
