I bought mine from a guy on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=47067 &item=7305130936&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW They are cheaper than the big guys. They are MDF. I mounted them onto birch ply and have not had problems with them warping. |

I have bought some from him too, but I need small ones and I don't see the point of paying more for something I'm just going to cut away. But this guy does make nice dishes (although kind thing and they do need to be glued to a backing board like you mentioned.) |

[QUOTE=Dickey] Call Mark Ketts. [/QUOTE] Like I mentioned I have already gotten someone to make them for me. I know Mark Makes them, however the deal I got was simply too good to pass up. |

There was someone at the New England Luthiers (NEL) meeting a few months back that made a jig to create the dishes. The sad thing is, once it is made then it goes in the closet for a long time. He was letting people borrow it. I do not remember his name. If you send a message to the NEL group, I am sure he will respond. http://www.newenglandluthiers.org/ |

Yeah Like I mentioned I know how to make them and they are not that hard to make at all (pretty messy though) I just do not have the time, or want to to have to go to the trouble to make them. It is much easier for me to just buy them. The jig that swivels and is concave for the router to rife on is an easy method, but again I just did not want to do it. |

Same here John, I just didn't want to do it because of the mess mainly, but also because I didn't want to spend my free time on it. |
