eBay plans for a home-made lathe - the seller even leaves the impression it's his design!

Only a quid, of course, but considering the design can be found free at

... The seller seems to do a whole lot of 'e-books' of this kind - some of it possibly breaching copyright (anyone paying attention at eBay?). I suppose customers who can't be bothered to do a Google or check in forums like this deserve what they get. Anyone got George Farrell's email address?

Go to

and simply input the long url you wish to convert. I understand there are other similar services around. It's a handy service, but do take care. As you can't tell in advance what a tiny url is pointing to, it's wise to take care if it's from someone you don't know or inside any message that looks like spam. I only use the service when the original url would be too long to be practical in an email or usenet message - as here. John

Wellllll..He didn't say he designed it......Just said he built it and that's what it looked like. If he built it like the plan showed, then it would certainly look like the one in the URL you posted :O) If that's a photo of his - the guy is good wot!
