I needed a new project for the eternal lockdown, so after a chat with my musical chum and ideas man, I have started on a mandola. The wood for this experiment/instrument comes from an elm tree which g...

Fretboard glued on using the pin method for lining up as shown in the live stream by Mark. I’ve never tried it before and used to just stand over it till the glue set. Attachment : 88C297DC-B44B...
