Learning metalworking at home
Lewis Lang wrote:
Hi. I would like to learn metalworking at home. How much realistically will I need to spend $$$, and what exactly will I really need to get started? Are any of those kits worth looking at, or are those scams? Please also suggest a good book or 2. Define "metalworking". What kits? Start with a file. Master it. When you can't do what you want with just a file, get a hacksaw. Master it, too. When that doesn't get you there get a drill and some bits. Ditto on mastering. Eventually you'll have a shop and know what to do with it. Or you can go get the World's Most Expensive Milling Machine and wrap your hand around the spindle doing something that could have been better done with a hand file. -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com |
