Here's a Great How To Series, on Machining and Building Prototypes by Dan Gelbart. It's an 18 Part Series. I found it on Hackaday.com, Learn 40 Years Of Mech Prototyping At Lightspeed | Hackaday. My first job, in 1973, was in a Machine Shop. And I continued on in Machine Work, as a Tool Maker, in an Air Craft Manufacturing Plant. I was also a Cabinet Maker, over the years. So, I'm very familiar with the Tools Dan, is using. And find his instruction, very interesting. I'm watching part 2 of Dan's Series, now. And I have already seen quite a few tips. That I didn't already know and enjoyed learning. Much of his Safety Tips, at the Beginning. Are common sense and usually learned by experience, on the job. But, if you are a beginner. Then Dan could save you a Finger or and Eye. Or from some really bad Cuts, at the least. On his Tips, on Turning and Drilling Brass. I found my self, thinking. I've done that! So, that's why that happened. He not only says. Don't do this. But, he explains why and how it works, too. It's a really good Series. Check out the Related Links too...
