I was asked by one student where to order tone guards:
https://www.tone-gard.com
I am building a teardrop/flat-top mando. Been at it forever, just dawdling
along. I have sides bent, neck cut-out and shaped, top and back cut-out and
ready to glue in place, and now I need to cut the sides down. I need a little
advice...
The sides for the teardrop are not the same width all around. The mando
thickness varies like wedge. The sides need to be trimmed down from 2 inches
wide at widest at heel end, to one inch at narrowest at neck end. I hope this
makes sense. What I need advice on is how do I mark out the sides for
cutting? It is not a straight line around the circumference from thickest to
thinnest. Anyone have any good ideas?
The neck looks great by the way. I hand carved the whole darn thing out of a
block, as I don't have access to a bandsaw to do the big cuts. Made of
Tasmanian Oak, light in colour and light by weight. Straight grain, hard and
works well under rasp, coping saw and sandpaper! Bruce Bernhart students: Websites assigned during lessons
