Machinery's Handbook. There may only be 50 to 100 pages out of 2500, relevant to what your student is looking for, he should try and find a copy from the library and see if it's any use to him. I find the sections on Geometry and Welding quite useful.

Metal Trades Handbook (IPT publishing) A bit thin, but some useful information in a handy format. Again, your student should attempt to view a copy before purchasing.

I have looked, and books dealing specifically with the layout side of things are not common. If you come across any, please post the titles.
