So, i'm getting ready to start my #1 and i want it to be an a-style arch top mandola since i already have a mandolin that i'm satasfied with (for the moment.)
I used the gud ole search function and found the free plans that were floating around the internet, and i noticed they dont have measurements, or more importantly the gradations of the plates in the plan. I'm assuming that if you were to print the .PDF version at 100% they would be to scale, so the measurements dont worry me too much. The gradations are still a problem though.
I do, however, have the siminoff (sp?) book and i was wondering if it would work to just scale up the gradations for the plates in his plans (which i remember reading were a little to thick) and use them.
Is this a viable plan or am i way off base?
Thanks!
