There’s the Gingery book series that starts by describing how to build a charcoal foundry and goes all the way to a complete machine shop.

This series popped into my head as soon as I read what the original poster was looking for. As someone who loves building things, I've read through many Gingery books in the series with aspirations of building many of the machines. That said, the refractory sand for the foundry in the first book is still sitting in a bag in my garage.

I got the first two from the On sale section. Sounds amazing.
