I bought the series "Build a Complete Metal Working Shop from Scrap" many years ago from Lindsay Publications Inc.  Now that I finally got my foundry set up and my CNC Router running, I can get going on making my lathe.  I'm going to document my progress here as I build my lathe.  Click on the links below to see progress pictures.
