How do I get old Woodsmith plans?

[Michael Peet]

This seems like a really stupid question. I like the machinist's chest featured in issue 183 of Woodsmith magazine:

http://www.woodsmith.com/issues/183/sources/machinists-chest/

I can't find the actual plans (to buy) though. They aren't found in the searchable / browseable library linked on their homepage. Anyone know? :confused:

Thanks!

Jason, yeah my searching did lead me to plansnow, but I didn't see them on there.

Myk, thanks for the offer. I don't have the magazine. Is it more of a measured drawing then as opposed to step-by-step plans? Maybe that's why they're not found under any of my plan searches. Maybe I could buy the issue somewhere, it's not that old.

Thanks guys,

Mike

I just looked up issue 183, it has 9 pages on building the machinist chest, see if your local library has the magazine, otherwise you can order the back issue from woodsmith.

>>> Is it more of a measured drawing then as opposed to step-by-step plans?

Yes, the magazine article has step-by-step instructions and plans. But you would probably want the whole issue. Many of the other articles relate to particular techiques required to build the chest.

Thanks guys, I think I will look into buying the back issue!

Try Here: http://woodtools.nov.ru/mag/ws_183/ws_183.htm the tool chest starts on page 30.

Thanks Mort, how did you find that? The back issue is on the way but this should hold me over -
