Coulda swore I saw acrylic layour plates for the SJ and MJ OLF plans, but I can't find them on the Stew Mac site anywhere. Did they stop making them? |

I just found a SM catalog from 2010. They only had brace templates for a Dred, a OOO, and a F5. They had the plans for the SJ and MJ, but no templates. Waldron carries acrylic bracing temps, but I don't know if they have the same bracing pattern as the OLF plans. Bob |

I have plans for the OLF SJ.... For my templates, I bought some clear Plexiglass from Tap Plastics. I have a mold I got from Bluescreek & traced the body outline onto the plastic. After that, I placed the plexiglass over the plans & did the same w/ the bracing patterns/soundhole/bridge & plate using a straightedge, compass & sharpie. I then drilled little holes in the plexiglass all along the points where the bracing ends are. Double & triple checking, making sure all lines & such matched-up w/ the plans. I had my templates.... |

He did. I've had mine for quite awhile. You'll need to contact John & see if he can hook you up. ![]() |
