This page is where I will show my efforts at building a small home machine shop using some tools I already have and some I build. Hopefully the lathe I am building will end up as a useful addition here. I don't plan on building turbo-jets, but a steam engine would be cool. I will be going for the most bang for the buck. Come back often and enjoy as I try my hand at building a place to make chips on the floor and get slivers in my hands.
