This week.....
Richard’s mandolin
NEVER BUY CHEAP TOOLS! Good quality tools will last a life time and always pay you back. However, here’s an exception; whenever I see these little clamps, at a market etc, I buy them, 6 for £1!! They are really great for gluing linings on, as you can see on Richard's mandolin.
Andy’s arch top
I like to effect and will probably do this again on a flat-top. The next test is the bracing.......more on that later.
