A beginners' guide to Home Metalworking

摘要

First we will look at planning permission, buying a wooden shed, erecting it and installing the electrics. Then we will look at purchasing hand tools, a workbench and the lathe. The use of the lathe and hand tools will be looked at in detail from a beginners' point of view. Later in the series, we will look at purchasing and setting up a milling machine and learn how to use it. I have a lot of experience in using machine tools. A lot of it was gained in an industrial environment but it is still relevant to the home workshop.
