Rick,

Gene has my drawings, and hopefully he will be able generate some 
plywood proofs from them on the shopbot.  I don't want to speak for him, 
but you might want to ask very nicely and throw in a virtual case of beer.

If you want my drawings, I'm willing to pass them on.  TurboCAD is a 
decent deal at $129 for TurboCAD Deluxe.  I have used it for several 
projects and the upgrade costs are not too bad at $49 for each new 
release.  I tend to skip releases and upgrade every other release.
