Mark, have you printed those free lute plans on the Japanese guys page? I'm gonna go hit out a place by me and see what they can do... seems its 24 x 36 in US size?

post a youtube video so we can hear it?

I have a few sets of plans, and have talked to Larry Brown. I have made a few wedges, cut half lute pattern on them, and tried the shape the ribs off of the cut wedges once bend to shape. Larry Brown makes it look simple, well.. its not.. at lease for me.. They just done match up when trying to glue...

200 watt buld

I am trying to build my first TRUE Lute mold for a half circle body. Its the hardest part it seems. I want to build a medieval lute and also use the bowl shape body for another Lute-ulele.

It would be an Concert Ukulele scale.

Greetings people!

Here is a picture of an instrument I just finished. Its a flat back lute with a Ukulele Scale! Came out nice and sounds good.

I used popular, red cedar, and black walnut.

I have the Lundberg book Mike, and I adore it. The one I am speaking of is the Lute Construction by Robert S cooper.A smaller blue cover book. I have the GAL plans plans for a 6 and 8 string lute, and neither have rib templates. The cooper book does.

Greetings people!

I just got my hands on a really hard to find lute construction book. The first two pages has Lute plans that are 1/4 scale in actual size. If I bring it to a printing place they would have to print it 75% bigger for full size right?

Thanks
Terry
