home-based, "small" sized plastic injection machines,

Check this site www.proto-form.com or email workshoppublishing@... .
They have the following titles "Secrets of Building an Injection Molding
Machine and "Cutting Costs in Short Run Injection Molding".

I ordered (and received) plans from these people for a vacuum forming
machine. Very detailed plans - exceeded my expectations - how often does
that happen?

Since we're off topic anyway - anyone interested in following a thread on
vacuum forming - mold making - or injection molding send me an email - I
know I'd like to have someone to bounce ideas with. Maybe set up an egroup
list...
