Well, I got the first two books in the series and it seems like building the lathe is slightly more difficult than I had imagined. You have to be pretty skilled at wood working (which I am not) to make the patterns. There is also the fabrication of the motor mount and belt drive which is a bit complex. It really can be made by YOU but you need some skills and more importantly, time and patience. Building the foundry and melting and pouring metal into molds actually seems quite easy so I'll give that a try.
