man - you guys all made some progress on the first day !!! I for the sake of the challenge will not start till Sept./October - although I am gathering wood this week - (need to finish 2 other projects first...ugh...) my tally of wood/supplies purchased so far not sure I will use it all, and this is for 2 instruments - each under $150.00, although I will try to keep both under $150.00 Rough list - will modify once I figure out what I am using from here. I am making 2 mandolins 8/1 1. maple purchased - 1x6 x 10' - $24.00 2. bloodwood - 3/4" x 7" x 13" - $3.00 8/2 - just purchased more curly maple - $20.00 even - will yield me about 5, 1 piece necks 8/9 - just purchased 2 Euro spruce tops $16.00 each, need to let them acclimate to my shop - about 2 weeks At this point I will start these mandos around mid- Sept - not sure if I will finish - I do not want to rush them. |

doing miserable - Still working on my prototype mando - no progress in months. I did lots of work on our house - so that is where my time was consumed. I really doubt I will finish - but I will not give either, even if I have to post pics of a partially begun project. Thanks for the jump start.... enjoying my newly built home theater now.... I just have to cleanup my workshop after all the home projects to be able to continue on the mandos. And after that I start boat building  18' rowing wherry.
