Hell yeah there'd be lot's of people interested in that Wes! I would also suspect that there possibly may not be any issues with the Gingery's, as anybody who was interested in them would already have the books! I know I bought the separate volumes, and then last xmas got the whole set in a beautifully bound volume off the missus. I suppose even if they were only made available to book owners?

I love my cnc machine, but there's still something about manual machines, especially a shaper, that is something to behold. I have longed after a shaper for years, and plan to build the Gingery one when possible.

I actually picked up a fairly heavy duty Festo linear actuator off a mate very similar to the link below, that I thought would be perfect for a Gingery lathe type build.

cheers, Ian

Seconded. I would be highly interested.
