Re: Free Metalworking Plans

I was able in one attempt.

Do a right mouse button - RMB - on the file and do a save as.
That might be a better way for you to do it.

| I Dl'd the lathe plans, opened fine for me

For some reason the only ones that I can read are the furnace and the
sandblaster plans.

Acrobat would always send an error message for the other ones that the "file
is damaged and can't be repaired".
When did you last update Adobe Reader? I've opened all of them now
with no problems.

I want the pdf for the micro lathe, but each time I try to DL it, I only
get an incomplete file. It appears that you host it on your account at
googlepages, because the URL for it at freehomemadeworkshop.blogspot.com
points to this file:
http://greggspen.googlepages.com/lathe-modelling1.pdf.

So if it's not too much trouble, could you please upload the file to
your server again? Perhaps that will fix the problem.

The file should be 2,179,534 bytes in size. I went after it
with Wget (from the aforementioned link) and it took 7
attempts/retries to get the whole thing. Most likely
whatever you are trying to download it with is giving up too
soon. For whatever reason the site closes the connection
before the complete file is served. Use something like Wget
or some other worthy download manager to retrieve it.

It is only a version 1.4 format file which should load just
fine in AcroReader 5 or newer.

You can download the Windows binary for Wget from here:

It is a command line program and does require a bit of
study/learning to use to its full potential...
