I searched high and low for plans for one of these but all I could find was someone selling them on eBay for $25.00. Being the king of cheap I decided I could figure it out myself. I read Williams' article on building it and there were just enough dimensions that I could puzzle out the rest for myself. I just finished it today and I'm quite pleased with the results. If anyone wants the plans send me an email and I'll send them to you.

Warped,

Are you aware that I have a copyright and a patent on that design?


Oh just kidding....go ahead and give them away! That's why I put the thing on my website. lol No PAP or copyright. I'm by no means the sole originator of the design. Harry Fleishman designed the business end of it.

Carl - have you considered doing a tutorial with some photos and maybe some PDFs of the plans - just a thought if you have the time and inclination. I built mine like you did from photos and such but I'm sure the plans would be appreciated by others.[:Y:]

Thanks Don, I believe in sharing information. So many have helped me in my quest as a budding luthier I am happy to have something to contribute.

I have and when I have more time I'll work on it. I don't know how to convert them to PDF but I have the full version so I'll try and puzzle it out. I drew them up on Turbo Cad then using my snipping tool I converted them to a JPEG format.

I'm sure JPGs would work too - appreciate the effort to share.
