If you have the book titles/authors I would appreciate it! That sounds really interesting.

- jstanley 3y agoI presume it's the Gingery series. 1. Foundry: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Charcoal-Foundry-Build-Metal-Working/dp/1878087002/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3OY7PCAG7THK4&keywords=gingery&qid=1693315615&sprefix=gingery+%2Caps%2C72&sr=8-2 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Charcoal-Foundry-Build-Metal-Workin... 2. Lathe: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Metal-Lathe-Build-Working-Scrap/dp/1878087010/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3O1WQDD2O25AE&keywords=gingery+lathe&qid=1693315607&sprefix=gingery+lathe%2Caps%2C75&sr=8-5 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Metal-Lathe-Build-Working-Scrap/dp/... There are a few examples on YouTube of people who have successfully made this lathe, here's an example timelapse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBuUOO3qn30 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBuUOO3qn30 It's a cool project, but in the end you get an aluminium lathe made of home castings. If you just want a lathe, I'd suggest starting with a secondhand mini lathe instead and modding it to your taste, they're not very expensive. It's a lot less work than making a Gingery lathe, and not all that much more expensive. But the Gingery lathe is still a cool project!
