I'm sure that like many here I'm very interested, but just don't
have anything to add.
Remember, there are many lurkers here that read and learn
but don't post.
How about a repost of your drawings?

I see interest in my drawing is pretty limited here and on the binaries
group. I still think I am casting pearls before you guys so where would be
a good repository for these drawings for the good of mankind? Is there a
free library of plans somewhere? They don't have to be grateful, just take
them and keep them.

How about the various magazines on the news stand.
In the library ?
Books in the library ?

Hey Martin, how are you? How is the baking? Pizza and ciabatta for me today.
The query was about where to deposit/publish plans for free use rather than
where to find them.
