    Default Shop Built Mini Lathe Plans

    I subscribe to all of the popular woodworing magazines and often find project plans that I want to complete at some future date. One of the best I have found was plans for building a mini-lathe. It was a great plan and I am now ready to start work but cannot find the magazine with the plans. Is there anyone that can give me the magazine name and issue number or some other way to recover the plans. I have done every Google search I can think of but to no avail.

    Please forgive me for answering your question ahwatkins instead of saying welcome.

    Unfortunately you will find the odd rude prawn here who do like to try display their (imaginary) superiority by being very rude without proper reason.
