This is a collection of projects by Evan Williams. These projects all relate to metalworking in some way and many are of use for a South Bend 9C Workshop Lathe. Most do not have detailed plans but are presented as examples and for ideas of what may be done. If plans are not posted here then they are not available. More projects will be added as time permits.
