As far as I know, Tracy Mickley designed the NWG and drew the plans. These plans have 15 pages of high quality CAD drawings with materials and measurements on each drawing. Tracy made several prototype builds and invested several hundred hours (including some money too).
It's always nice to get something for free, but these plans are NOT FREE. Tracy sells the plans for $25.00. No metric version, I'm afraid.
The only thing about these plans that's free: buy the plans and FEEL FREE to make inch/metric conversion & adaptation. That's a nice feeling too.
Build the NWG and later, sell the original + converted & adopted drawings to me!!
I'm on a tight budget (Croatia!), but would really like to get the plans and build the NWG.
My wife said that she would kill me if I buy anything, even a single thing regarding knife making materials or knife making tools, but she didn't mention any CAD drawings.

I'll take the risk because I think it's worth every penny!
Excuse my English please, I did my best to make it understandable!
P.S. Shame on me, as you can see, it took me half an hour to write this! 12345678910 is IN already!
