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).

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

    Thanks.

    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!

    v/r,
