Memory lane… my first, and last, attempt at making a mandolin from scratch. No idea how many hours I spent in my garage making every piece of this just right. This, ladies and gentlemen, was my absolute pride and joy…

… right up to when I finally put the strings on! Oh, cruel defeat snatched right from the jaws of glory!

In the end, it was determined by a unanimous 1-0 vote that this one sounds best when not played. But she hangs around as a stunning reminder of what could have been!

It may not sound good but it looks amazing. Nice work.
 
We went up to the forest today to find a Christmas tree. I brought my TC Barlow.

That sounds like a lot of fun, I hope you brought a chainsaw! 🤣


😁

My Saturday Morning fire was very comfy...





Looks like a fine way to spend a Saturday morning, John. :thumbsup:

The festivities continue, so I'll have my Party Knife with me all weekend:

Have a great Saturday Everyone :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I like variety as much as the next knife knut, but sometimes it’s hard to beat Case’s yellow Delrin. Nice photo.


Interesting blade combo there, clip main with that little mini-clip secondary.

Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend, and that you have a relaxing and peaceful Sunday. Poshing up my pockets today ;) :D :thumbsup:

Shame it didn’t sound like you’d hoped, but it’s a beautiful instrument! :thumbsup:

Nothing fancy today; just this #71.

May not be fancy, but it’s hard to beat one of those #71’s.

I've got these two today.

Matt that's a beauty for sure. Might not sound good to you but looks incredible to me. I'm sure you had alot of hours into it and you should be proud of it.
