Where can I get an excellent plan for a dob mount?

I have a Newtonian Reflector. It has a 12 and a half inch primary mirror, F-6. The equitoral mount I have is shot. Thanks for the input.

Dang, that's a big scope. If I did my math right, it's about 75 inches long, right? I can see why you would want to put it on a Dob mount. I've been referred to the link below for a simple mount before. It only details plans up to a 10" aperture scope, but I'm sure you could scale it up.

Here are very inexpensive plans for an 8". I believe it can be scaled up.
