The Brit model engineering group had a link to a personal projects page
that merits a look.

http://homepage3.nifty.com/amigos/index-e.html

The pages belong to a gentleman in Japan that has made a substantial
amount of tooling with a 9X20 and a minimill. He includes both pictures
and prints. A fine piece of work.

Excellent photography on those pages. The pictures really show off the
workmanship. I wonder what he'll build once he gets done building the
tooling.


I bet he's wondering about that too....

He does beautiful work, and his descriptions of how and why he does
things are enlightening too.

Check out the description of building the boring head.
Outstanding work indeed.

Basically he just dismantled a commercial one, and started
with that design. Made his own taps, dovetail cutters, etc.

Wow.

Excellent photography of really junk machines. However, a skilled
machinist can still get a lot out of the crappiest machine. He appears
to fit this requirement.

His English is much better than my Japanese. I was in Japan while in the
Marines. I have lost most of what I picked up. I can still count to six in
Japanese.

That's how the Japanese camera industry started. Right after WW II they
took apart German Leicas and copied them. They looked exactly the same
back then.
