Default What a cheek!

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

http://tinyurl.com/y5ko4q

Only a quid, of course, but considering the design can be found free
at http://www.mimf.com/articles/lathe/index.htm ...

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?

Just drop a note to Debby Suran at MIMF. She will take of it from there.
Some people have too much nerve no to mention dishonesty.

If you look at some of 'his' other plans for sale, you will see a 'CLASSIC
BOOKCASE' listed -
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Woodworking-Pl...ayphotohosting

- the photo he uses is from this site

Ps. Sorry the link is so long. How do you get one with the 'tinyurl' in it?

Oh, I also used the Plansnow contact link to let them know. I figure that
since they sell their plans, they probably have attorneys to deal with this
kind of stuff.

Go to http://tinyurl.com/ 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.

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!

Apparently Debby got to eBay but Plansnow lagged. The first plan has
been pulled, but the second is still available.
