Articles on the Taig lathe and micromachining by Jose Rodriguez

Jose Rodriguez and I have been corresponding about the Taig for several years now. He uses his Taig for miniature furniture making, model steam engine construction and small wood turning, as well as in the construction of tooling. Recently he started making videos of the Taig and his other shop tools in operation, which he is selling through my web pages. Having watched each one in the series, I can recommend them as an excellent learning tool, or an aid in deciding which machines one might buy.
