Are there any plans or drawings floating around for a do it yourself arch?

I'm thinking about building a 2x3 ish Mason type arch this off season.
Mostly because I'm cheap, but also because I like to build things and have access to most any kind of fabrication equipment.

Thanks.

I think you are in luck. I came across this set of plans when I though I wanted to build one too. https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/user.html?id=0420436823140547962355859

Lucky Dog, I used those plans to build my arch although I modified them to suit my needs.( made my arch 2x5 for future expansion) They are fantastic! The only thing I would change if I did it again is to make the firebox a little deeper. By the time you add firebrick it gets a bit small in there. Really great plans though. You can check out my build in my photobucket.

I assume you mean deeper from front to back?

How much deeper would you make it?

I would go at least 6-8 inches deeper.
