Build Your Own
Metal Working
Shop from Scrap

HARDBACK EDITION OF THE 7 VOLUME SET

David J Gingery

David J Gingery Publishing, 2013. Brand new hardback. ISBN 1878087355.

Includes the following volumes available separately.

  1. Charcoal Foundry
    80 pages. This is the first book in Gingery's series showing you how to build a complete metal working shop from scrap for almost nothing. You must have the foundry setup in order to build the lathe, milling machine and other tools described in each of the other books. Castings make strong and precise machine tool components. You'd go broke buying the castings, if they were available, but you can make them for almost nothing in your own foundry.

  2. The Metal Lathe
    128 pages. Build a 7" capacity metal cutting lathe accurate to .001". 12" between centers. 5" swing over saddle. Uses castings produced by the charcoal foundry. Cost only about $50 (fifteen years ago). Some incredible lathes have been built as a result of this classic book. You can do it, too. Detailed, proven how-to.

  3. The Metal Shaper
    144 pages. Build a shaper! 5x5 capacity with 6" stroke. Variable speed. Automatic variable cross feed. This is no toy! There is hardly an easier and cheaper way to cut keyways, splines, dovetail slides, irregular profiles and more.

  4. The Drill Press
    128 pages. Sure you can buy one. But what will you pay for one that drills a 1" hole with ease? And can you brag that you built it yourself? Quill feed is 2 1/2". Double reduction provides 260 rpm low speed.

  5. The Milling Machine
    128 pages. Sure you can buy one. But what will you pay for one that drills a 1" hole with ease? And can you brag that you built it yourself? Quill feed is 2 1/2". Double reduction provides 260 rpm low speed.

  6. Dividing Head and Deluxe Accessories
    160 pages. Build a four jaw chuck and thread cutting gears for your Gingery lathe. Build an indexing head that gives all even and multiples of 5 through 100. And more!

  7. Designing and Building the Sheet Metal Brake
    52 pages. Build an 18" wide sheet metal brake from common steel. Some arc welding needed. Has been successfully scaled up by a number of craftsmen.
