Metal Web News is another good source. It features plans for a number of shop accessories, including a 3 phase converter. New projects and information are added frequently.
Springs are an important part of many projects. There is an excellent discussion of spring making at the spring making page.
The Lake Itasca Hot Air Invitational now has a web site.
