I have some of the books. I started making the powered hack saw but after reading that it doesn't work all that well I aborted that project. With the cost of raw materials these days it's sometimes cheaper to buy the item either new or used. If you do it for the challenge then that's a different story. The horizontal milling machine somewhat interests me.
