I posted about the Archtop Build Journal back a couple of years ago:
http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/sh...+build+journal
I have continued to build and learn, and updated the Journal as I went. Here is the Fifth Edition, with more details about plate carving, neck carving and finishing. I hope it encourages others to try building and sharing what they learn online.
A higher resolution version is available by email - just PM me.
