I'm realllly digging the mandolin! I got some Aquila strings for ukes tuned GDAE, but the E string was brittle and snapped 3 times to the point that its now too short. I'm definitely going to be looking out for a mandolin in the near future :)
 
I've been pretty bad about keeping up with these...but here they are

I'll tell you ahead of time what they are, in case you dont care to watch.

Every one of them is sweet...Nice work...:D
 
thanks fellers...

they're alot of fun to make. They've come along way and still have a ways to go, but I think I'm approaching the limit of cigar box building. There are of course things I 'could' do, but not necessarily things I want to...or things that I cant do in the realm of traditional building.

Other than making a banjo, and maybe branching out into some fingerboard inlay...I think I'm about tap'd out on inspiration. Anyone have any 'interest-sparking' ideas on what can be done or what they'd like to see?
 
The baritone sounds really nice. The Cohiba cigars are pretty good too.
