Yea I’ve read the whole series like three times at this point, but I wouldn’t call it a general purpose fabrication book.
It has step-by-step instructions on making a number of mechanisms for casting metal pieces and assembling them, and detailed designs for a forge, casting station, a lathe, and other more elaborate devices, but you’re on your own for a lot of metal and wood shaping techniques.
