    my homemade mandolin

    I just finished making another mandolin. I used Graham McDonald’s book as a guide.
    This is the second one I have made using his book.

    2 way truss rod for a mandola

    Would it be OK to use a 2 way truss rod for a mandola neck?
    Does the nut have to go to the bottom of the slot?

    Re: About To Finish My First Build

    It’s purdy exciting that you’re finishing up. I used Zinnser sealer for my first build. It worked purdy good. I rubbed about 14 coats of Tru-oil over that and it still looks good.
    Whatever YOU...

    Re: “Mineola Rag”

    I’m sorry, I can’t read music. I learned it by ear. I slowed down some YouTube videos
    and played them over and over until the tunewas pounded into my head.
    I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks...

    I’m wondering if they would resist the torque better if the wood grains were perpendicular to the metal shaft?
