Yeah! Picks!
Nice job, John! That sounds great. If you are ever in the Columbus area, give me a shout, I'd be interested in comparing our two Vintage '24s. As I've told you before, that one you have was one of...
Haha that's cool, John. Thanks for the info, I think I'll try to angle it a little more and reach for that spot.
That would be great, John! Thanks!
I'm looking at an early '20s Martin Tiple (ten string, four course, and 16.93" scale length) and am having a heck of a time finding the dovetail joint to steam it out and didn't know if there was...
Rico, send me a PM or an email (yellowmandolin@gmail.com) and I'd be happy to send you some info on getting one built.
Looks like Frank Wakefield to me...
Great picture, it seems your photography is right up there with your playing!

pretty awesome...
Thanks for the kind words folks, it sure is fun, heck of a good holiday this year! I just put up a new video on YouTube that gives a little better demonstration of what it sounds like up the neck a...
Buckles, I participate in some degree in most aspects of the building process, with the main exception of the application of the finish. When I started, there was a fair bit of "watch and learn" but...
Yeah, I do work for Don, I've been his apprentice for the last year and half or so. He's a pretty great guy, I've been really lucky for the opportunity to learn in his shop.
I don't mean to sound...
Glassweb, sure am glad I have bigger things to worry about...
James, the board is straight, but the pickguard was not pushed in all the way...
Woody, I remember yours, heck of a good "Crusher!"
Just figured out the YouTube feature on the cafe and thought I'd put this in the thread itself...

Thanks, Chuck, I am pretty proud! It's just a pleasing instrument to play.
Exactly, you can buy it if you pick it up in Athens. Not much use to very many people, but I happen to live a block away, so it's not a big deal to walk over.
I put up a short little video of it on YouTube... Not great quality, but using the built in iSight camera on my Mac is about as far as my cinematography goes!

And when I saw that yellow Calton, I knew it was for me!
Just wanted to post a few pictures of my new Red Diamond. I've had it for about a week now and finally got some time to stop playing and took some pictures! It is a Vintage F voiced after John...
You can get it from Stew-Mac if you go pick it up, they do not list it on their site or catalog, but will sell it to you if you ask.

This is a pretty good resource from Stew-Mac. It sounds like you are planing on tinting some of the lacquer...
Any updates? It's been a while...
Thanks for the kind words, everyone! John, it was The Girl I Left Behind Me played in a G position, however it wouldn't surprise me if it sounded in F! I loosely tuned it off an instrument I had on...
