Building a Gingery Lathe

   Using wood patterns, sand, clay charcoal, and common hand tools, we construct a 7" by 12" metal working lathe with a taper of less than a thousandth over 12". Constructed with many accessories, including a rotary milling attachment, chucks and a steady rest.

Experimental Wood Chip Burning Furnace

   We build an experimental 175,000 Btu residential size furnace that efficiently burns green wood chips (up to 50% moisture content), produces smoke-free exhaust, and ties into a conventional baseboard  hot-water heating system.
