And I thought I did a lot of sanding by hand… You make the bending look so easy, and as I know now it is.. when you practice a bit, the sides are not to thin and not to thick, and have a talent to work with patience! (not one of my best characteristics) Thanks for sharing!

Nice work, Tony. Is your octave mandolin going to have a sound hole, or only F-holes? I’m thinking no sound hole. I like your setup to make the mold and bend the sides. This ain’t your first rodeo, eh?

The OM will only have F-holes, you are right I’ve build a few instruments… Thanks for your comments
