I made a mando stand last night

[grandmainger]

I was bored and needed something to keep me from smoking... Here's the result! Pine frame and leather padding where the mandolin touches the stand.

and one with the blonde BB

Nice work. That looks like a much better way to spend an evening than smoking. It's been two months for me since my last smoke. Good work.

Nice stand too!!! Lp

I like! I think I'd be much more comfortable with my new mando on something like this instead of the standard metal and whatever that stuff is that serves for padding.

[glauber]

Nice. I love the leather padding.

[grandmainger]

Thanks folks.

It's fairly basic but quite sturdy. I toyed with the idea of padding with fabric, but then I figured leather would be as safe as can be!

I'm now thinking I might try for another type more like this:

The comfy-chair for your mando!

Dang grandmainger, I think you're sitting on a gold mine. #A lazy boy for the mandolin, guitar, what have you... #That's pretty good.
