A Treasure of Woodturning and Machining Info

I took some time to build this table for reference.  It is filled with machining and woodturning information from Popular Mechanics and Popular Science back issues located on Google Books.  I had a wonderful time discovering all of the articles and the fact that nothing is new under the sun in these two fields.  I will update as I have the time to surf through the site some more. Enjoy!

(Note – I recommend right clicking to open each in a new window so you don’t have to back your way out to return to this list.)
