Anybody ever buy these books? I saw a web page a while back that a guy did after he got these books. He actually builds a home foundry, then builds a lathe with it. This series looks really good and I may pick a few up. Apparently the books are in the order of what you need to build first. So you have to build a foundry to build a lathe, and a lathe to build a mill. I figure I will buy a lathe then build a mill with it utill I can afford a real mill.
Titles include
Book 1 The Charcoal Foundry
Book 2 The Metal Lathe
Book 3 The Metal Shaper
Book 4 The Milling Machine
Book 5 The Drill Press
Book 6 The Dividing Head & Deluxe Accessories
Book 7 Designing & Building The Sheet Metal Brake
The guy even has a book on building your own injection molding plastic machine.
