It's usually never as simple as just making everything a litlle longer. I believe the free plans machine uses unsupported shafting as guides. Adding length can increase flexing. If you're not careful, it could make the machine unuseable. There's a reason that most of the inexpensive wood machines are all a similar size. It's difficult to buils a large machine cheaply.
