Metalworking
And then one day, I was building a wood rack (being an occasional woodworker, I ended up quite logically with a lot of wood. Wood everywhere) using a plan from an old Popular Mechanics, when I saw an ad for Lindsay. You know "Build a metal shop from scrap". It sounded worth spending a few bucks on, see what it was all about.
So I finished my wood rack and ordered the Gingery books from Lindsay. The idea of building a metal foundry and casting tool parts sounded just too much fun to pass up!
This is the continuing tale of my metalworking adventures. I'll add more as I go.
I haven't given up woodworking. Woodworking is very useful for metalworking, especially casting, because you have to make your patterns in something, and wood (or something soft of the kind) is a good choice.
