Very nice! The red may be my fav, but I enjoy the sight of them all.
I hope to start mine in the next month or so.

The cable ideal makes me think of the squeeze handle to engage the drive wheels on my lawnmower. It is a heavy guage music wire in a sturdy flexible sleeve with a return spring "loaded" ar one end....

What was the final design?

I like the design!
Rather then clipping the corners on the back, what about leaving them on and just putting a radius there. That would allow an infill of wood or whatever which could be drilled...

Mann!! I knew I liked your style!

I did a quick google and did not see a website. Is there one?

I like that! Is the pup adjustable? It looks surface mounted.
Does the bridge have piezo's?
It looks very similar to the design I am working out for myself.

Seems like a pretty wise investment to me! She did say she wanted the right look for the new group she is putting together. The new group might be able to help her make more mando money, maybe...

A way cool way to help pass the time, might be to post the sketch - if both you and the builder are okay with it. I would enjoy seeing the sketch! Following from concept to finished instrument is...

I'm slowly working my way through "The Mandolin Project" building along in my mind and greatly enjoying...

Hopefully it's a minor 'net related issue.

Been kind of a ragged day in the office! May have to take the long way home and boot up "Kitaro-Light of the spirit" from the hard drive. It mellows me then builds me...

A couple of years ago at our local village festival. I went to take my first bite out of a brat smothered in chopped onions. It felt like an onion was alive! Then something pounded a nail from inside...

I too have to be careful, I share my shopspace with a furnance and hot water heater. they are pilotless, which helps a bit. I keep flamables to a minimum. I have a vent to outside I can open because...

Do you plan on working in your "answer" or just using it for storage? I wish I had one place to store all lumber. My shop is packed, I have a mixed stack in the garage and some oak planks in a...
