Many of you probably know of the David Gingery books already, but if 
not, thought I would mention them for those who like to build there own 
tools and shop equipment.  Gingery has published several do-it-yourself 
books via Lindsay Publications; he has plans for building a bandsaw, 
milling/drilling machine (I think), power hacksaw, centriugual fans, 
working sheet metal with hand tools, and some other stuff.  I built his 
power hacksaw.  The plans were detailed and clear; however, I discovered 
some errors and a couple of design flaws.  If you like to tackle such 
projects, you might want to check out his books.

For what it's worth ......

It's possible somebody has already mentioned it and I didn't see it, but
another good book is "The Modern Blacksmith", by Alexander G. Weygers (Van
Nostrand Reinhold). Lots of basic stuff, and he also shows how to make
various specialty tools. Judging by a few of the photos he is an
accomplished woodcarver as well.

You can write for the catalogs from Lindsay at: p.o. box 583, Bradley, IL
60915-0538  or if you can't wait, 815-935-5353.  Even if you don't plan to
make any of the stuff, they are fascinating reading.
