I believed Spencer built that for a lady here in Michigan about 10, 12 years ago. She passed away a few years ago and I never heard what happened to the mandolin. I played it a number of times when...
There is a West Michigan Bluegrass Association, I'm not sure if they have a Facebook page or not. I know they have a small festival the 10th and 11th of September. They have Jams in the Winter...

Thanks for any...

I bought 4 scales and two bags of pencils and 3 razor knives last week.
A few years ago I attempted to build a mandolin, no experience, no tools and no knowledge. It made a wonderful clock for my shop wall. Once again I am in the process of building my first mandolin....
I hope to catch you two playing somewhere in Michigan on of these days.
Although I don't get to play them, I get to see lots of mandolins that I normally wouldn't see. Sometimes it's nice to just look, read and learn about them. I also think the retailer listings help...
Beautiful!!!!!
I'm working on my first mandolin using a cnc and Aspire. I used a probe and digitized the top and back to create the program. I'm not good enough to design in 3d using any program. Using the probe...
