You will find people on Youtube that build a lathe or milling machine. Even find David Gingery items built. In the background often is a commercial or hobby machine. Not so easy to build these machines without some equipment.

I would find a club or people that will help and know equipment. You many even find an owner of a small shop to act as your expert on picking equipment and could even give you some idea where to look. What size equipment do you need? Actually a better source then Gingery is what has been published in old 'Popular Science or Mechanics.' They can be found at
