I actually really like the raw chiseled look when you're making the arch on top. It reminds me of a hammered cymbal and it'd be cool to see a guitar with bronze finish and chiseled top.

How pliable is that epoxy? Is it really rigid or does it flex a bit like other pickguards?

Wow great video beautiful instrument. I always thought that the f style was called the f style because of the shape of the holes where the sound comes out ……obviously I am NOT an expert.

My dude did you freehand the fret slots with a Dremel? If I did that they'd look like linguini! :P Great looking build!

It’s Bioshield Hard Oil which is similar to old violin varnishes. It’s basically linseed oil, tung oil and rosin.

It is very strange that after watching this long video, we never hear what the mandolin sounds like.
@captbuscemiАй бұрын
Yes, apart from the line at the beginning stating that the soundtrack is all his instruments, including this mandolin, for 34 minutes.
@jgarber235Ай бұрын
I didn’t see at the beginning that that music was played on this mandolin and frankly I would have liked to hear the mandolin demoed for tone by itself. I assume that is not the point and the maker can provide a sound file for those interested in buying it.

There's a trick to adding ears to the lower bout so you don't have to make a three piece back. Wedges are cut off the top of the block and slip matched. Its a little tricky but it works with curly maple. Excellent workmanship there.

I liked the video... picked up a couple tips .. BUT I wish that Luthiers would stop using Titebond 2 and 3... Original Titebond holds beautifully and you don't need near as much heat to take something apart for repairs.. There's a reason original is used in most Big Name factories .... so if the instrument comes back for repairs you don't have to torture it with higher heat and there's less tearout... Sorry..just hard to watch someone grab that green bottle..lol Best tip was the rough smoothing out the top's dome with sandpaper on a flexible piece of flat metal like a ruler or something.... makes me wonder why I didn't think of that..
@strackwoodworking6 ай бұрын
I switch to original Titebond for the joints that might be worked on in the future. I mainly use 3 for laminating veneers.

One thing I've never understood about mandolin making - Why is it traditional to put the fancy figured woods on the back and a plain top? Beautiful work, BTW.
@jjmuni6 ай бұрын
For the top a light and rather unspectacular straight grain wood like spruce or cedar or redwood will transform the sound waves best while the fancy maple adds a bright color in tone plus stability and if possible beauty. The wood choice of the classic mandolins of the early 1920s refers to European classical instruments who are mainly made of what was best of the trees growing nearby.
@DSteinman6 ай бұрын
Straight grain soft wood is flexible, which is needed in a top for it to vibrate well. Hard woods work for other parts and those can be found with more figure

Wow, gorgeous work!! How did you like carving the reclaimed redwood? I did an archtop out of it a while back, and found it almost too soft. My carving tools wanted to take off more than I needed, and I ended up getting some grain line cracks that needed gluing back together. Just my experience anyway
@strackwoodworking7 ай бұрын
Thanks! I actually love working with redwood. It is soft so I made sure that my tools were super sharp and I worked slowly. The final results are definitely worth the effort.
