Making workshop tools yourself that you get to use later is both really both really fun and a great way to learn things along the way ...even if it seems you can almost always buy the tool cheaper online.

- retzkek 4y agoDave Gingery's "Metal Working Shop from Scrap" book series is what you're looking for. https://gingerybookstore.com/MetalWorkingShopFromScrapSeries.html https://gingerybookstore.com/MetalWorkingShopFromScrapSeries... Disclaimer: while I've owned the lathe book for decades, I've been too intimidated by the "go to a junk yard and pick through for scrap meeting these criteria", including a couple diesel piston heads as I recall, to ever start.
