Another dude joins the ranks of the Hobbyist Machinist 

Outstanding David, keep it clean and shiny!

I have enlisted and have been issued my weapon. I will join the ranks, but boot camp first!  Much to learn.  I have had and used the very large wood lathe for many years, but there is vary little similarity between wood and metal lathe work. 

You know I will keep it clean and shiny since that is OCD shop rule #1.  I am going to take it nice and slow.

Today, UPS dropped off four book to read (three on lathes and one on mills). All are paper bound and quite inexpensive. 

One of them is called "The Home Machinist's Handbook" by Doug Briney.  It has ten projects given at the right point in the training to test skills before going on to the next ones.  The projects are for actually usable tool for the lathe (Center Punch, Machinist Jack, Brass Mallet, Ball Peen Hammer, Setup Tool, Parallel Bars, Machinist Clamp, Angle Plate, Sine Bar, and finally the only one that is not a tool... a Ship's Cannon final project)

The other three books are How to Run a Lathe (from South Bend), and two books from Harold Hall called Metal Lathe for the Home Machinist and Milling for Home Machinists.

Good times.

and finally the only one that is not a tool... a Ship's Cannon final project)

All of the projects sound cool but this one is the COOLEST!     You know, cause it SHOOTS!     Well, unless it's just a replica.
