Thanks Tom, I LOVE Bradford pear, it is a beautiful wood! I made a bench out of it for my daughter before she was born. She's 15 now and she and her sisters still use it.

Looks like I'll be...

Thanks Graham!... your book was a great guide through the first build. I had not given much consideration to a fixed bridge. That may be the way to go.

I'd still love input from others!

Where is the video?... looked all over even searched YT, couldn't find it!

A few people have mentioned portable power stations. I did a fair amount research into these last year to have as something to have on hand at the house in the case of an emergency or extended power...

Been working 98% of my time on redoing a couple of doors and remodeling the foyer... but the other 2% I've picked out enough time to do the binding and stain the top for #002. I've got a...

Beautiful mando Dale!!!

Very well played Caleb!!!

I'm jealous of both of you's skills (not sure if that's grammatically correct, but you get the point)

From the front it looks pretty cool,...

This was posted on YT about 3 months ago, but I haven't seen anyone share it here.

Good work John!

I was more a fan of Nickel Chrome (silver) at the outset of my interest in mandolin, but when I commissioned my Silverangel, I asked for Gold on a whim and really haven't looked back. I just think it...

Was he playing with some sort of alternate tuning... that's was cool.

I typically play it open, and like the guy in the video above, switching back and forth from the higher and lower octaves......

A friend emailed me this YT video and I thought it was pretty awesome... I fell into the YouTube vortex checking out the band's stuff. Ironically I've realized more and more that "Heavy Metal in...

Thanks! It's a Western Red Cedar top with Maple back and sides

I love my Econo A, but I had mine custom made to my preferences... ask Ken about it and he can tell you what it has; neck profile, nut width, woods, etc.... I'm personally a big fan of SA mandolins...

Congrats Maxr, I loved my 305!... great little mando!
