Wonk,
I don't have any actual stricktly gingery machines, I have a dividing head that I made using gingery techniques. The books led me into casting I would begin a machine, and then one would turn up so I didn't have to finish ! I have a top-slide with nowhere to go, parts of a full-size power hack saw, ZA castings for the "Tinker" T&G (Norman Tinker, no relation was from the North of England, my family of Tinkers were from the south of England it is my real name!) assorted face plates in Al, machine handles etc. Things get incorporated into other machines, parts of the "Tinker" and a gingery type mill are now used in tool holding on my Clarkson T&G. As I've been on this road for a long time, I had a lot of the basic skills, but I still learnt a lot because of branching out.
Regards, Matthew
