Don,
When doing some research for plans I found this site.
http://www.bluestemstrings.com
It gives some insite and suggestions for building several instruments including a lap steel with a set of plans.

Re: Building a Steel
Hi
I wrote a book on building a pedal steel about 10 yrs ago. I sold it for $19.95 USD. I sold a few hundred of these books all over the place. It's pretty out of date nowadays since the technology has moved on. However, I started to write a new version a few months ago but haven't finished it and likely won't for a few more months! I don't know there seems to be so many other things to do higher up on the priority list. I sold one of the books just a few weeks ago to a fellow in Buffalo, Wyoming so there's still some interest in it I guess. Anyway, the original version would get you started on what's involved, tools you need, materials, designs etc.
This is not a sales pitch....just thought you might be interested
Cheers, Mac
