Hey dankypot,

Thanks for looking at my videos and the great comment. I would like to re-do some of them with more information but it is just so time consuming. I will try to get some more on later this spring.

Thanks again,

Just wanted to say thank you for your well done, and informative videos. I have been building guitars for six years and recently recevied a request to build a mandolin that resembles my travle size acoustic. Youre videos have given me great insight into the anatomy of the mandolin and a great resorce of valuable knowledge.

thanks again,

Hi Nate,

Thanks for the comment, I didn't know if anyone could use these video. You are the first and only comment I have received concerning them. I have more ready to upload to youtube just haven't had the time.

If you have any questions or need help in the future just let me know.

Thanks again,

Darrell Sheppard

As a note of encouragement - I have looked at most of your videos - and have now decided to subscribe - it is very helpful to see your process of building - fun to see each instrument take shape. I am actually thinking about building an octave mandolin - your consruction of conventional mandolins makes me want to do one of these as well.
