It's been a while, I know. I have been busy. But I got laid off about a month ago, and I don't start work again for another month. So I hope to finish the mandolin before returning to work. I got the tuners and tailpiece from Stew-Mac this week. I am out of town this weekend but will return to the project in force next week - an hour a day is my goal.

Also, found another blog just today from a much more ambitious guy than I am who is building a carved arch top mandolin. His site is very nice, and his descriptions are excellent. He's got guts - it's his first instrument, too, but his work is really wonderful. Check him out here.
