Hi,

They sell a 33 ft dish at guitar woods (Gerard Gilet) in Botany, Sydney.

Not sure if they sell other radius, but could be worth giving them a call.

I got one of these (made from MDF). I got a 16' dish (plywood) from them as well. They are fine, but they did seem a bit expensive to me.

Back in the early days of the forum I posted a how-to make one in the tutorial section, but it seems to have disappeared...

I used your tutorial earlier this year & found it really handy - thanks Graham.

Chris Paulick also has a very good Youtube clip on this, accessible via Video & Picture tutorials. OLF.http://www.luthiersforum.com/forum/view ... 17&t=18097
