Picking up this idea, someone should write a robotics version of "Build Your Own Metal Working Shop From Scrap"[0]. It's a seven volume series where basically you start with rocks, make a series of tools, and end up with a metal shop.

Even better if the parts for your robot(s) are machined using the DIY metal-shop tools! It's DIY all the way down...

All joking aside, I've always longed for a complete set of those Gingery books in print format. I have ebooks of most of them, but I'd love to have a bound set. And even more, I'd love to have time (and space) to actually take a stab at building the Gingery metal shop. Seems like it would be real blast (no pun intended).
