busy few days on various bits & pieces.

Mandola #49.......

varnish complete, tuners in, tailpiecs in, bridge rough cut, nut rough cut then strings on. once its sat a day or two under tension I'll do final set up.



#50, the tuners on,



and then after a lot of humming and haaing, I got the bridge sorted and glued in place. the preamp will go on the top edge so I was able to use that hole to reach in with the clamp.



and the two mandos are now bound (with walnut)If I get the mandola & guitar finished before the end of term I'll be delighted.
