    woodspiral, I started with a similar outlook, first I just wanted to buy a machine because I was more interested in using it than building it. After reviewing loads of commercial offerings I found them to be either too expensive or they lacked features I required, this ultimately led me to building a machine to my specification. Most plans I think are American and they seem to have different build techniques than we do in the UK, but that is not say one method is wrong. My suggestion is that you look through the build logs here, I know it gets to be a ball ache after a while, then cobble together the bits you like into your own design. The main reason is that you will learn far more by doing this and it will pay dividends later on I believe. All you need do is download the free Sketchup software and get going, once you overcome the initial hurdle of actually making a start it will come together quite quickly.
    It would be different if you were looking to buy a kit of parts but as it's only the plans you seek I'm inclined to think you could produce these just as well yourself.
