The porch and other obligations have kept me from building the small group of mandolins I started earlier in the year. With IBMA week right around the corner I have decided/gotten permission to quickly complete one F5 before the conference.
Finding a hundred hours between now and then will be difficult but then who needs all that sleep anyway? I do have Tim helping out in the shop. So, it should be an interesting build and we’ll see how it goes.
