As everyone has mentioned.......PRACTICE!
Your hand to eye coordination must be pretty good too......especially threading up to a shoulder!
The Machinery Handbook "can" be a useful item to have around, however......I have one sitting on desk that I seriously doubt I have opened in ten years. FAR from knowing it all.......it's just MUCH easier and MUCH quicker to get a response in simple laymans terms on the internet, and often times several different approaches with tips and tricks for achieving what you need to know or do.
When you do find what you're looking for on the net, (which often times is a page of charts or formulas for what you need) simply bookmark it and it will always be there just a simple click away from providing you the info you need.
Here's an example of some I use that you may find of interest:
Form Tap Chart: http://www.championscrew.com/form_tap_drill.htm
Thread Chart: http://www.shender4.com/thread_chart.htm
Trig Calculator for right angles: http://www.carbidedepot.com/formulas-trigright.asp
Milling Formulas: http://www.carbidedepot.com/formulas-milling.htm
More Charts than you can shake a stick at! :
