I want to venture into the world of building flat top mandolins and I am looking for some plans. I have a book which describes one method but I would really like to look at a few designs before I start building. Does anyone know where I can find some plans?

You'll have to do some searching, but it's there.

Plans for most anything...

Thanks Guys

Jerry - that is a great link. I will be picking up a few sets of plans.

Bruce - Thanks for the offer but I am really after some detailed drawings to look at. I will let you know if I decide I want the tracing.
