Re: So you always wanted to make your own mandolin
The person behind Fiskars (scissors and other items) also spent the money on an updated version of the Stroh fiddle. Know a couple of folks that have them and use them.
Would maybe make that mandolin in the first post, but my wife is afraid I'd run with the scissors. Sigh. It's not like I'm eating paste anymore.

Re: So you always wanted to make your own mandolin
In my family, the Sicilians always always had the sharpest knives. Perhaps this is the secret to their mandolin-making.
