Thanks! I bet that tree guy is a great source for maple.

Great video Audey, I especially like the close camera work and the fine details. Amazing job etching the tailpiece cover!

Great to see those trees out of there. The mandolins look great

Thanks!

Great stuff! I really need to try the glass scraper. Looks like they cut really smooth.

Thanks for another great episode Audey, we always look forward to it!

I have always wondered about the bleed-through. Especially because maple is just so hard to keep from showing. Was nice to see your approach to this, will be taking notes! Turned out great. Thanks for the video!

I have to say that I'm impressed with how stable your curly maple is during storage. I find it tends to be willing to split awfully easy. Impressive to watch that bandsaw work on the scroll. Fussy stuff, for sure. I've never seen you do a neck reset on one of your mandolins as a repair - obviously your technique works! Thanks for sharing this week with us.

I sure liked that extra footage you added. That Birdseye Maple is going to look beautiful.

Have you ever done a percentage of your time building vs sanding? I'd imagine them to be close.

The B-roll does help add interest to those of us with short attention spans. Adding short anecdotal stories could also help deepen our understanding.

I appreciate the work you put into your video content. I am trying to put together ukulele kits from stew Mac. My lack of experience is evident. I really enjoy your craftsmanship.

Glad you're feeling better Audey! My wife and I've both been down with cold viruses this past week, sure takes a while to get over. The alternate videos shots are great..the close-ups really show the detail in your work (plus great background music). Hope your performance goes well!

Thanks for showing us around. See you next time.

Thanks for the video Audey, i hope that you're feeling better.

Very very good 👍😊

Beautiful! God bless!

Thanks for the wealth of knowledge you share each week!

How very cool to see your incredible craftsmanship on my very own mandolin! It's so interesting to see a dedicated professional artist doing such meticulous work. Thank you for building this mandolin and taking care of it these many years later. It sounds phenomenal and that pick guard is simply gorgeous!

Beautiful work on that pick guard!

It's been a pleasure as always to tag along. See you next week!

Your pickguard really compliments the mandolin...fine work Audey! I'm glad you picked a tune on that '89...wonderful tone.

Sweet!

Humidity and finish work is hard enough here in New England in the summer - can't imagine coping with it down there! Fantastic explanation of what's happening. I've had good luck with Mohawk's "No Blush Plus Retarder" for pulling blush out of guitars with moisture damage, but it will craze the finish sometimes. That oval hole looks great, love the mahogany. Wonder if that will give more midrange to the tone?

Good thing you designed that neck clamping jig for building lots of different types of instruments! Hopefully will see some guitars in it sometime! That tortoise binding is kind of pretty - will be neat to see how it matches the finish. Scary how much that wheel on the drill removes maple, but must cut out a lot of time. Always a little frustrating when you can't quite get something to the point you'd like it, but I guess that's why there's Monday morning!

Audey, Thankyou for sharing your skill and tips in your videos. You make it look so easy, but I know its not and its only your experience and talent which makes it so. I love seeing a master craftsman at work. Greetings from Australia.

Great work on that back. I like that cleaver detail you worked out with the saw dust. Never saw that before.

Great work Audey! It's neat to see the methods you use in building...first time I've seen the sawdust trick. I know that birdseye is gonna be beautiful. Hope you have a good weekend!

These detailed videos are great. As I proceed with my project, I have your videos to follow. They answer my questions and show me the process. This is a wonderful education. See you next time.

Very very good 💯 And looking good 👍😊

Thanks for taking us along on another episode Audey, we appreciate it!

That mandolin is looking good Audey, see you next week!

Amazing as always thank you for sharing!

Really like the color combination. See you next week.

Very nice detail.

Always a new challenge. Thanks for letting me tag along.

Very very good 💯😊 And looking good 💯

Great week's work Audey! Glad your new technique worked so well on the staining.

I am sending you a gift from Amazon. Should arrive tomorrow!

Great, love watching a fine craftsman at work! I admire the way you've developed jigs to use along the way to manufacture your different models...great work Audey!

Really great video this week. How often do you break 1/8" band saw blades? Do you ever get nervous with your hands close to the blades, with the possibility of one breaking?

Do you keep most of the scrap wood?

Thanks for this week's lesson. What a fun way to learn. See you next time.

I sure enjoy your videos!!!! Love seeing all the steps!!! God Bless My Friend!!!!

Thanks for another great episode Audey, we're looking forward to next week!

Very very good 💯😊

Thanks for info on "milk". I'm in Baltimore. Summers are rough. I did my USAF basic training in San Antonio in July and August in 72. Dryest "heat" I've ever felt.

Back in the 90's I was working in an antique restoration shop and was refinishing a baby grand piano. I had bad problems with blushing finish, after trying everything else we got a dehumidifier for our sealed spray booth and never had a problem again! Thanks for your video!

I feel for you. I have two sanded electric guitars waiting for lacquer paint and clear. I won’t even try until mid September. I live 20 miles east of Nashville. The humidity is unbearable.

Hi Audey, I'm a 69 yr old fingerpicker from NC and have really enjoyed being a subscriber to your channel. You're a super craftsman and a true artist...it's a pleasure to spend time with you thru YT. Sorry the humidity's holding you up...80+% is rough. Hope your week goes well!
