LOL Hesh! #2 Got bound a few weeks ago, #3 Got the back glued on Thurs. evening, and top on Friday Morning. Neck blanks were roughed last week, and I glued the kerffed lining on #4 Friday night. Mando rimset has been done for a while - I'm successfully avoiding carving the plates!

Three D's and a F5? What's next, a banjo??!! Something tells me Mark is a bluegrass enthusiast  .
Mark, they all look great! What kind of neck joint have you planned for the mando? |

Arnt: A banjo? That's cold man! 
Yah I am a fan of bluegrass, and play in a local bluegrass band. Plus I figure while I'm learning, I should stick with one design, and get my fit, finish, and tone as good as I am able for that model before I branch out. And my guitar teacher plays Mario's dreads, so I get to pick those occasionally. Very inspiring! Besides that, I just like the sound of dreadnoughts. I think I'm gonna try a dovetail on the mando, but I might chicken out at the last minute and do a straight mortise and tenon pinned with dowels. -Mark |

Mark, they all look great. I like your dread shape. Did you copy the Don McCrostie Herringbone plan? Steve |

Steve: I did indeed. I also have the Scott Antes plans from LMI. Nice drawings with more detailed mesurements than the McCrostie plans. Thanks for the kind words folks. I have to build a jig and rout the neck mortise in# 2 today. I'm scared... -Mark |

Lookin' good, Mark, even if they are deadknots! That F-5 is pretty spiffy, too! You've been a busy boy.
