Recursive Tool Building

[Steve Shannon]

(quoting Gingery book

"Like most hand skills, it requires only an understanding of the principle and a little practice. Call it an art if you want to, but if it is, [then] the guy who operates the road grader is an artist too."

I have never built his machines, and never intend to, but they were a very interesting read.....

I enjoyed that quote. My father was a grader operator. There was a practiced skill involved that could be compared to artistry.

I've also purchased the set. While I am very much in learning mode. When possible l am using the concepts which Gingery offers to make missing and broken parts for my vintage iron. The aluminum foundry is here. Am planning to fire her up when the snow melts this spring. The parts won't be OEM but they will hopefully move toward restoring functionality!

Eh, why not fire it up and make the snow melt? After all, foundry work is a warm hobby, same as making maple syrup and sugar.
