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. viewtopic.php?f=10102&t=8117&hilit=side+template Instead of the little scrap of wood he pokes the pencil through, use a washer and roll it. Pat |

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. Kevin Looker |
