I'll second what John says. I've built the hacksaw, the slip roll, the
furnace and the lathe and some parts of the rotary table along with other
lathe bits from book 6. Now I have a 10" SB lathe and a G3616 mill so the
Gingery sits somewhat unused.
But the simple process of following directions is a skill in itself and
should be learned. The books are the end product of a lot of
experimenting with limitations of a 1 quart crucible. Even working within
those limitations is an exercise from which a lot can be learned.
