Introduction
During my early days studying machining, I engaged in a variety of projects that laid the foundation for my skills in the trade. From creating simple keychains to more complex tools, each project contributed to my understanding of fundamental machining principles. Over time, I realized that while decorative items like turner’s cubes or random widgets quickly fade or get lost, the tools I crafted have stood the test of time, remaining in my toolbox and serving me daily even after a decade. This sense of pride in making durable, useful tools motivates me to share projects that can help aspiring machinists develop their skills and produce practical, long-lasting items.
Below, I’ve compiled an extensive list of essential projects aimed at beginners and students. These projects are not merely decorative; they are designed to be functional tools that you will likely use regularly. Each project includes detailed Bill of Materials (BOM), required equipment, and downloadable drawings. Many of these projects are based on my own experiences and have been upgraded for better utility and educational value.
