    How to get all of the plans?

    Just a dumb question, as I'm sure it's been asked, but can't seem to find an answer: is there a way to buy all "for sale" tool plans all at once (maybe at a discount), as well as downloading all at once the free plans? Yes, I'm greedy, but, after having finished the phase converter and a few other free plans, I find myself starving for more, but can't seem to pick and choose, so I want 'em all! But, it's rather tedious going through the page for each set of plans. Any help is appreciated.

    Interesting; we don't yet have an "all plans" bundle. It's definitely something to think about. We could also bundle similar plans together.

    How did the phase converter turn out? If you post your build on it, I'll send you any plans of your choice; we'll pay the author for the order, and you'll get a free set of plans.

    Phase converter turned out well, but I never got a chance to use it: my Dad needed a way to power a few huge wood shop machines he's got, so I'm stuck with a few VFDs until I can gather parts again to build another one myself. He has said he's seen "slow to start" issues with one of the legs, but I think that may just be due to the motor used (it was a really old Baldor, can't remember the model, that I had to tear down and rebuild after having the armature redone by a friend)

    Any update on getting a bunch of plans at once? I've actually been able to narrow my wishlist down to a set of five, but, as usual, those computer gremlins have defeated me; I'll have to wait until I get home from work to get any of them (I work graveyard, so I'm slowly losing my mind in the wee hours).

    I took a closer look at this. While we don't currently have an all-in-one plans bundle, it's not a bad idea. We would have to organize across multiple plans sellers, but it could possibly work for us. You still do have some options right now though:

    -rossbotics has some 2-for-1 plans that you might like. You can use this deal to accrue multiple plans (like 6 plans for the price of 3, etc.).

    -If you post your build on the forum, with a photo or two, we'll send you ANY free plans of your choice. We'll pay the plans author the standard price for the plans, and send them to you for free.

    Got it. I think I've got a few ideas for a project that I would post, just need to gather materials, etc.
