One spot left in this years' batch of mandolins folks. If you'd like to be included, please send me a message through my website. As well as the big Celtic F and Celtic O mandolin, there is also the new small mandolin. About the size of a regular big Sobell mandolin. F or O. I'll also be making a Session King Small Celtic mandolin - a satin finish mahogany and spruce version. Prices start at £3200 delivered. Nigel www.nkforsterguitars.com

Always good to see mask, ear and eye protection being worn. And overalls. Not enough people wear overalls

On the Spindle Moulder is that masking tape mated with masking tape with super glue to keep them together?. Doesn't the glue soak through when you take it off and 'damage' the neck. I could use that for something I'm trying to do i.e. use a router bit to follow an elliptical template without affecting any of the two parts, My problem was how to attach the part firmly to the template without damaging the part or the template when separating them after the cut has been made..I thought of using industrial double sided tape. I'm fairly new to using a router so was a bit stuck, but that looks like it might work for what I'm trying to do. Interesting -thanks

The mandolin batch had to stop for a few weeks whilst I made an archtop guitar for a chap I'd left for too long. But a nice reminder arrived this morning - a pair of cases to test fit for my Big Celtic mandolins. They look pretty robust... Nigel www.nkforsterguitars.com
