Re: the concrete machinery, I just saw this today http://hackaday.com/2011/09/27/they-may-be-for-developing-countries-but-we-want-a-concrete-lathe/
For the DRO, I found lots of info by googling: diy dro
There is a very good quality open-source DRO made by Shumatech, but see comments on discussion page.
