Given birch plywood prices around the SF Bay Area, I find it's actually a bit cheaper to have John Hall (Blues Creek Guitars) make all my molds and bending patterns for me.....and it's a whole lot simpler too! John does a great job on them.

BTW, I hardly ever use MDF. It warps far too easily and oh, the dust!!

having looked at John's website, i think i might see what he can do. his molds look very good and seem reasonably priced (i think ill pick up a radisued dish at the same time).

it just appears to be a matter of find the correct plans to go with the molds. Can any one help me here pls?

Thanks for all your help and advice,

Jonny


Ask John, he'll steer you the right direction for what you are looking for.

Don't forget the adjustable type mold espoused by Charles Fox either. It has some strong points. I've used both and actually like the adjustable better. I'm probably in the minority though.
