I am an avid woodworker and just started venturing into the realm of insturment construction. I have done a kit guitar and I would like to build a mandolin this year.
I have been scouring the net for and reading all the instruction pages and books I can get. Now I would like some advice from some of you who have already built one, be your projects several or few. Share with me come of your stories and experiences and advice.
Tyler, my advice would be to just take your time. I put together a stewmac kit. being a frameing carpenter by day i'm used to trying to get it done quick. the closer i got to finishing the mando the less time i took. ended up with a great sounding mando, but it kinda looks like Monroe's, which i guess is kinda cool anyway. I hope 2 and 3 will be a little better. don
I been through the mountians on a mule with no name.
If your really interested here's mine so far. Almost done
