Sounds interesting! I've often thought of using paper mache but never got round to it. I used a sort of through body neck, in which the neck was recessed so it didn't touch the top except at the heel and neck block. So it functioned pretty much like the pole in a banjo.
I love your videos. I am making a bowl back mandolin currently out of paper mache and wood. I was wondering on this on did you use a through the body design with the neck? Thanks.

Certainly do! As a rough guide a ukulele would cost about £30-40 and a mandolin £60-70.

do you know how many dollars that is

General rule of thumb is to multiply it by 2
So $60-80 for a uke and $120-140 for a mandolin. Not too shabby, I'd say.

Kewl! I'd love to get into making this sort of thing but apart from vague musical expertise it probably takes some woodwork skill as well...
Hats off, anyway!
