Bicycle Lathe Plans

Don Weber’s Bicycle Lathe article in the August 2007 issue (#163) sparked a lot of interest and questions (which you can read here). Don has just sent me hand-drawn plans for the lathe, which I've posted here for free download as a pdf (with my apologies that the lines are light and bit hard to see).

Thank you Don for everything you are doing and taking the time to supply us with these plans, I know you have a lot more important things to do. (LOL I had just went back to this issue and was trying to figure it out on my own, I think I will before I use the plans!)

Thanks for the great work Megan!

Love this lathe design, but when I try to download the pdf of the plans, I get a blank page. Help!

Thanks.
