Maybe I wasn’t clear enough. I understand they are two separate areas and am looking for recommendations for both areas. For strength of materials I am looking for a general understanding as well as a more in-depth study on how different steels hold up to pressures and tensile strength."General machining knowledge" and "strength of materials" are two separate areas, not likely to be addressed in any one book designed for people looking to get into machining as a hobby. For the former, consider seriously
Be sure to get both volumes.
For the latter, a lot will depend upon what your aims are and how technical you want to get.

Do you have any recommendations in that area? That sounds like an excellent idea. I have watched a few of her videos and they have been very informative.maybe you should start with some engineering book. at least i wish i had. e.g. tensile strenght is rarely what matters (→fatique strenght, shear strenght, buckling, youngs modulus, embrittlement (ssc/hydrogen), ductile to brittle transition temp, etc.). did you know a set screw (high strenghth) cannot be used in tension? you can look at quantitative info all day, but your just loosing time without the basics.
as to intro to machining, try blondihacks on youtube, if you like it.
Plenty of online information on materials.Maybe I wasn’t clear enough. I understand they are two separate areas and am looking for recommendations for both areas. For strength of materials I am looking for a general understanding as well as a more in-depth study on how different steels hold up to pressures and tensile strength.
