While you can pick up a few general ideas from that site, because he's selling the plans you can't get any 
actual detail from it.  And he won't sell plans to those of us outside North America, so that's that!

I started building an X-Y table using a friend's Lathe/Mill, and bits bought from eBay.  I managed to get a 
couple of THK slides for a reasonable price, but they often go for silly money.  So far I've got the Y-part 
built, but my friend has moved, hasn't got as much space now, so I can't use his equipment any more... I may 
build the rest in MDF because I know I can work that with what I have.  But it's about No.15 in my list of 
projects, so it may be some time!
