True confessions time!
I'd like to hear some stories from people who decided at some point in their life to take the plunge and try to build a mandolin.
1. How did you prepare for the project (knowing it would be a challenge and likely to be more of a learning and hobby experience than result in a fine-sounding, good-playing instrument?)
2. What pitfalls did you run into?
3. In hindsight, what do you think you "coulda/shoulda" done differently?
4. Did you keep going, or scrap that first mando and start over?
5. If you made more than one attempt to build a good mando, how did those previous mistakes inform your subsequent efforts?
6. What ultimately became of that first mando or first few build attempts? Where is it now?
