This page is a resource for videos and descriptions of all common operations, procedures, and tasks in the machine shop and should be the first place you come when you're about to ask @npolanosky "How do I...". I love helping, but there are lots of people at the lab and only one (very busy) me. So I'll try and compile some info here so you can help yourself!
- All of the information you need for the machine shop- If you need a written reference instead of videos or searching endlessly on the internet, this is the place to go. Machining, welding, tooling, material properties, thread information, various standards for a multitude of processes, fasteners, and other thing.

Where to start?
So you're new to machining and don't know aluminum from carbide? No problem! Start out by signing up for the next Machine Shop 101 class at the FamiLAB! These are typically held monthly, so check the calendar on the right side of the website for the next one and sign up at Eventbrite. Next, join us on Slack in the #metalworking channel so you can ask any questions you have.
Once you're through the class, or if you want to get a head start on your machining journey and learn some before the class, check out the links below. Here's a list of some of the best videos, channels, and literature on machining. Learn everything you can, and go make cool stuff!!

Precision Machining
Clickspring: Austrailian dude with mad manual machining skills, can make anything with a file. Built an AMAZING clock by hand, now working on an incredible replica of the antikythera mechanism
OxTools: Master toolmaker, knows his stuff. Will satisfy your OCD. Has forgotten more than we will ever know.
Robin Renzetti: Same idea as OxTools, toolmaker with incredible attention to detail. Definitely measures to like 5 more decimal places than I do.
Stefan Gotteswinter: Toolmaking and general ludicrousness. German, so of course everything must be perfect.
