Most owners buy the timber from the suppliers so I think the chances of anyone having patterns are pretty slim, but I hope someone on here can prove me wrong.
Cheers

As i recall he was contemplating buying a set of original blueprint plan copies on ebay - the seller did at the time sell them from time to time - \£60 / £70 ish - might be worth a search on there?

well to do the job properly would entail the use of a spindle moulder with a ring fence or bearing guided blocks.

not really a job for the do it yourself, also there are some compound sections on the traveller

there is a complete new set on ebay at the moment

So what would be the legality of buying these and making copies?? if it wasnt illegal then I will buy them and sell copies happily!

Thought that too ! but..... if they are proper blueprint size & there are nearly 50 of them you wouldnt sell for a profit unless you had free copying facilities - or a monster size printer - but paper and ink all cost.

As for legality its my WAG that the copyright is expired, in which cae the club ought to cough up for a set and lend them out to needy members :-)
