Hi Chuck - not sure if there's actually any standard drawings out there - you sorta have to make it up as you go along.
Try this to get started:

Chuck,
Do what Skip said, get on the builders forum. There is so much to learn there...all aspects of pedal and alp steel building. Just see for example Pat Comeau's latest creation. He, and the rest of us will welcome you with open arms.
Crowbear, thanks for the plug!
Chuck you may email me any time you feel like it. I'll help you along the best I can. I guarantee you - there's a lot more than Gluck out there!
