Title: A great book to get started building a shop
Review: The book (and the series) is a great way to get introduced to the whole process of metalworking. Everything is very doable. I have now found myself constantly looking for sources of scrap aluminum! The plans are quite thorough and detailed with accurate drawings of the patterns for casting the parts. My only complaint is that the end of the book starts to lose the detail and starts making assumptions on one's abilities whereas the first three quarters of the book pretty much hand-hold you through the process. Once you get to casting and making the tailstock, it gets a bit more challenging.
