Hello everyone,
Just joining up to see everyone's ideas of homemade tools, I find that shop bought tools come in two varieties, cheap and pathetic, or so overpriced I'd have to sell a kidney.
I figured making some of my own tools would be a good way to save a buck and entertain me while I'm building them. I'm slowly purchasing some basic tools to build the more specific one's and I'm always coming up with grandiose ideas about the next thing I'd need.
Aside from some simple things like clamps and socket sets, I'm actually keen to build most of the common machines found in your average woodwork/metalwork shop such as a drill press, belt sander, and something not so common like a 3 axis (or maybe 5-axis?!) CNC mill.
So if anyone has some suggestions of how I should dive into the world of manufacturing on a university student budget that would be much appreciated!
