Machinist's Workshop, formerly Projects in Metal, is the sister publication of The Home Shop Machinist. What sets this magazine apart is its emphasis on shorter, less involved projects for the beginning machinist. Machinist's Workshop also covers other forms of metalworking not necessarily related to machining, such as welding, foundry work, and fabrication work. Machinist's Workshop also contains articles on gunsmithing, including Steve Acker's famous The Gunsmith Machinist column. Subscribe now and receive 6 issues for only $26.95!
