This section of my site started as a page about my Taig milling machine. Then I started building tooling projects for the mill. Then I bought a Taig lathe and started making tooling for that as well. It's funny how you buy machine tools for the purpose of making other stuff, but the first dozen things that get made are accessories for the machine tools... Oh well, I'm having fun anyhow.
So, the mill page now has grown to four pages: the mill; the lathe;
mill tooling; and lathe tooling. When I actually start building other
things with the machine tools, I'll put up a project page as well.
