Hi Rob, how are you?. I live in Colombia, South America, and have been very interested in the Tyler Disney’s Concrete Lathe project. I have read and tried to follow the build manual for this powerful tool. However, I have not been successful in obtaining the plans of the same.

Hi Oscar, awesome that you’re thinking of making this lathe. I updated the article and deleted the old links to make it easier to find the link to the manual. I’ll put it here, too: https://www.engineeringforchange.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/multimachine-concrete-lathe-ver-1-10.pdf.
