These are some pages I find interesting. If you are viewing my machine pages, I assume you have similar interests, so you may want to check some of these pages out.
Pages by Individuals:
Dave
Goodfellow's Homepage
Dave has some pictures of steam engines
that he built in his own shop, and an interesting construction sequence
to view.
Flosi
Gundmundsson's Metal Working Projects
Flosi has a number of lathe accessories
he made on his own equipment.
Ron
Ginger's Homepage
Ron has many interesting
projects, including a neat sensitive drilling attachment for the Sherline
mill, which could probably be adapted to other small mills.
Varmint
Al
Al has a lot of everything!
This link goes to his 7 X 10 mini-lathe page. Check out his
other pages too.
Lamborn's

Brian Lamborn has
some good looking engines and a nicely done page. Take a look.
Equipment Pages

Just about everything you
can ask about the Taig lathe. He sells 'em too.

North
Star Hobby Machining Supplies
A Sherline dealer for our
Canadian friends
Some
interesting web groups for the Home Machinist
These
groups are specific to their respective brand of machine, but much of the
info is machine generic. Even if the discussion is mainly about a
Taig or 7 x 10 lathe, for instance, the procedures and techniques
could be used for most any machine. (I subscribe to them all).
There are
a lot of good ideas here.
