I'm still getting used to using a shooting board for mitres and end cuts, but I'm getting there
The router cutout: Oi, Oi, Oi, Oii
The potential for that is limitless, isn't it?.
What make are the router bits?
many thanks Gary, many thanks

The cutters have a 1/8" shank so use them with an adapter in the router. Have fun! Cheers Gary |

 I’ve just made the tailpiece for the emando and the video below gives you an idea of the processes involved in making one. One thing that occurred to me as I was making it; it’s one of the few things that I make, where you can start and finish it in the same session- no gluing, no finishing etc. just hewn from one piece of material! Cheers Gary |

The body of the electric mandolin is now together and all that extra internal work hidden from view- unless you watch the video!
Cheers and Happy Christmas to you all, Gary

Hi Guys, hope that you're keeping safe and well. I’ve just finished work on the purflings and bindings for the new chambered body electric mandolin and here are a few photos for you. Cheers Gary    |

Hi Guys,

Keep safe, Gary
