Hi Rich,
I think it is this book, I'll ask my Dad to see if he can find the book and I'll photo the front cover.
Most sites show no photo of the front cover.
Amazon have reference to it......
Building a Small Lathe (Paperback)
by L.C. Mason (Author)
One site says it was published in 1980 which sounds about right.
I'm going round to see him later, I'll program the brain cell now but being volatile memory it might be blank by the time I go round
(In fact I'll ring him now and ask.... but his memory is more volatile than mine so no guarantees
)
Derek
Edit.... here are the photos
