I am thinking of modifying a mandolin to make a traveller.
ideas:
1. Just saw off both sides in a straight line, straighten the surplus sides or just use some thin plywood strips and glue them back.
2. Bend the sides in and cut off the overhanging top and bottom. needs a way of straightening the bottom though.
3. Making a foldable mandolin with a hinge where the neck meets the body. Secured with a wingnut or a clamping latch.
4. Removable neck. Connected with just to steelrods going into two steel tubes and held on by string tension
5. Removable neck, held with two through bolts with wing nuts. Or a tap and one bolt.
Has anyone done such a (crazy) thing ?
