I don't believe I have posted this one.
20 years ago when I worked for Kim Breedlove, I was always trying to get him to move away from the big blocky square neck joint that they used for about 6000 mandolins and to move towards a more rounded traditional neck joint. This is one of many that I made up using all of the same existing shop fixtures and the same connections that they used to fabricate the square one. It was rejected by the office dorks who consistently called the neck "The handle"....as in, "Shut up 'n git back to work putting those handles back on the guitar bodies or I'll dock your $7 and hour paycheck!"
It worked well and I used the design for a few of my early mandolins.
