That would be great. There are a couple of books mentioned.
The first one is Spinning for Softness and Speed by Paula Simmons but it has to be the first or second editions because by the third the plans had been removed.
The second one I'll cut and paste here because I haven't been able to make heads or tails out of exactly what the person who originally posted it is talking about.
(The one I have is both books in one volume, but originally they were published seperately. The title is "Handbook of Rural Skills and Technology" "Cloudburst 1 & 2." Edited by Vic Marks and published by Cloudburst Press. The old ones are out of print, but a new one was published a year or two ago. I have not seen a copy of the new one so I don't know if any of the old projects are in it or if it has all new projects. The single volumes, I believe, were titled "Cloudburst 1, A Handbook of Rural Skills and Technology" and "Cloudburst 2, A Handbook of Rural Skills and Technology.")
To be honest I'm not entirely sure the plans are in this or if by this time in the thread they were talking about something else.
I'd owe you big time if you could find the plans for me!
