I'm trying to bend my first set of sides for my dreadnought and I want to cut them out before I bend them. but my drawings do not give me specs and how to cut them out. does anyone know where I can download and PDF or CAD drawing for it so I can go print them out?
any help would be great!
thanks, micah

You can draw your own if you're using radius dishes and an external form. Colin S did a tutorial here a while back.

Instead of the little scrap of wood he pokes the pencil through, use a washer and roll it.

I haven't been able to find a free set of Drednaught plans.

You'll probably have to buy a set of the MacRostie plans - they have the side profile in them.

I ended up making a template by copying the side of my martin DC 16R GTE and transfer it to my wood and cut it out. worked out well to. bliss
