I tried to cover all the step in building this mandolin case (except for the actual woodwork, which was done a long time ago).

The case looks great Audey, thanks for taking us through the process!

[@tonywampler217]

Very very good 💯😊
And looking good 👍
Love you all 💗

[@rickcurtis2983]

Outstanding work Audey, your skills amaze me! I can certainly see why you'd rather purchase the cases now, but whoever gets this left-handed mandolin & case will surely have a treasure!

I once repaired a primitive coffin- like case for an 1860‘s Martin. Sure cured me of ever wanting to build one of my own! If I were to do so, I’ll refer to this video, never seen it done better.

I was talking with Adam Steffie, whom I understand you gave lessons to, when I noticed he was signing autographs left handed. So, I had to ask, "Why do you play right handed mandolin if you are left handed?" "Because it's cheaper," was his reply. Judging from this episode, I can see how he was spit on. LOL

Very cool. Looks great. See you next time.

[@RatliffMandolins]

Thanks 👍

Turned out great Audie. I've used spray glue for some case mods I've done. Works very well.

[@RatliffMandolins]

Somebody else mentioned that also. I'm guilty of getting tunnel vision and seeing only one way. I believe the spray stuff would have been better and easier. There's always more than one way to get a job done......................

[@tommckeown6970]

That was a nice change of pace. Very interesting. Question: have you thought of using super 77 spray adhesive to glue the foam down and the material onto the foam?

[@RatliffMandolins]

Thanks for the tip! I'll try that next time .........IF there is a next time! :)

[@dianelawless7387]

Looks great!! How much for the Mandola???

[@RatliffMandolins]

I was thinking I should sell it for the current price of a "Country Boy" mandolin just to move it on down the line. $3750

[@dianelawless7387]

@@RatliffMandolins That is a great deal. I wish I had some extra money. I am loving the mandolin you made for me and it sounds better every day. Janet and I play our twin sister mandolins as much as we can and people comment on how pretty they both are and how great they sound!! Keep up the good work!!
