Hey, you know with your machinist skills and workshop facilities you'd be able to construct something pretty impressive if the analog computing bug ever bit.

90% of my knowledge on the operation of analog computers comes from stuff downloaded from analogmuseum.org. Download all the stuff in the library section (the big Systron Donner text is the best introduction). Also try to find a copy of the Korn and Korn book (I picked one up last week form a sechondhand book seller).

"Please don't feed the animals" thanks but I am sure that you are like me and don't need any help getting distracted to a new project.  ;D

You could make a difference engine, aka "mechanical calculator":

That is some very nice work in both cases :-+
IF i was going to do something along those lines it would probably be a 6 foot diameter circular slide rule.  You could get some awesome resolution at that diameter. But that would require some single arc second accuracy angular division which is not easy. Also requires extremely accurate trueness of rotation on the bearings because any rotational runout will give angular error.
