    poor mans book

    i just picked up a book from out public library here, and its kind of interesting. its calle the "poor mans u-build hand-book" by Blackwell. it has simple plans to make a bunch of usefull stuff like a radius turning tool, milling attachment and steady rests. it even has really basic plans to make a metal turning lathe from pipe and wood.
