here's my metal shaper built from sand casting using old blown up alcohol kart engines. the plans came from Dave Gingery''s "Build your own metal working shop from scrap" Book #3. I've also built the metal mill and dividing head from the series of his books.
the patterns.
All I had to machine the parts for this was a 6" swing sears lathe, some parts required 7" swing. The larger parts were machined on a friends lathe. It took me 3 months from start to finish.
finished machine cutting on a chunk of scrap aluminum
