.....started watching this series at 330am, took a breakfast break and did some morning things & stuff.... half-way or so through the Rosa Madolin series at 930am!!!
This series of videos on the construction of "The Rosa Mandolin" are absolutely fabulous. I keep learning everyday and beeing surprised by your ability to find a new solution for everyday problems in your line of work. The more difficult the job instead of making you hold back makes you look at it from a different angle. You thrive on difficult jobs and keep "Forever Young" in your mind! Well done Jerry. and what an interesting video the construction of the Rosa Mandolin is. Thanks for sharing all this with us.
blkjckgtrnut just came in from welding a bunch of equipment that my son tore up. Took about 3 hours this afternoon and he's still got more that needs welding. Thanks for watching.
Jerry, you are sometimes like a magician performing sometimes. It’s so nice to see you got that extra little mile to build a real sweet instrument. I liked what you said about your neck joint. “Do it right the first time...” Those are words to live by. Thank you for your time to film this.
I grew up with a father that believed if you want it then you need to build it. We had a woodworking shop, so at the age of 14 I built a guitar. Trust me your job is very secure. LOL! I have built plenty of furniture, and other things, but instruments, no so much! Regards, Solomon
As I've watched this series I've been praying that you would take care of your most important tools, your fingers. Now that you have made your sander and belts safe I can say prayer answered. ( and space for a comment)
As usual, another great video Jerry! It's looking great. Can't wait to come up. Leaves should be starting to change up there. Bout time for the deer to start moving. Wife says tell Sue hello
Robert Barnum yeah it's starting to change a little bit. I can only tell that through my wife because I'm calling fine but she says they're changing. It's going to be a nice mandolin. I'll tell Sue hello.
Seriously, who gives this a thumbs down? Best I can figure it was the production engineer from one of the Chinese copy/knock-off manufacturing facilities. Impressive work sir!
Steimie Snerdly thank you very kindly my friend. My guess would be that it was someone who is very traditional and wants to see a dovetail joint in the neck that's my best guess. Thank you for watching
I love the look of a laminate neck. I use laminated necks always with only one exception on a coming build and it will be cut and reversed glued for strength. Looks great so far Jerry, already seeing the curl pop on the neck carve.
Hi jerry, i too use the v joint for strength, i clip a small mirror on the back of my band saw to line the marks up to the blade. Only took 15 years for me to figure that out!
scott hennis the mirror is a good idea. My only problem with mirrors is that everything is backwards in them. I'm not very good with backwards. Thanks for watching.
Hey I know you use a coarse rasp to shape your necks a couple tools that made it easier for me is the Japanese Shinto and a shaper blade just a suggestion my friend your work is outstanding
George, you may be right...there are two 182's, but Jerry is busier than spit on a hot skillet and you have to forgive him...'sides, who counting, I'm just glad he takes the time to put a vid out!
Thank you for watching my friend. I am calling all the videos in this series 182 p1, p2, etc. This is part 5. I have fixed the name. Thanks for watching.
As always, a great video...look forward to them every Sunday!! Don't want to make you feel self-conscious, but I was going to say you've been looking really tired these last few videos (I know you have said you are crazy busy)...turns out you have rings "around" your eyes...LOL. Have you been wearing some safety glasses that are leaving these?
Thats why God made young men and young backs, teach them how and why we do things a specific way. I'm still cleaning up from the Hurricane spent yesterday as a chance to teach how to sharpen up a chain saw after you use it, that way its always sharp coming off the shelf.
Rosa String Works Sorry!! Really meant no offense!! :( Hope you didn't take it that way. Hope you can get caught up and get some rest! Although, I bet that even if you had time "off" you would still have hundreds of projects to work on!
Jake I agree with that line of thinking. My only problem is I usually cut so much wood when I'm out cutting I'm too tired to even think about doing anything else. I just can't wait to go crash. Thanks for watching my friend.
Yes yesterday I filled my truck to the top of the cab with a load of dead wood from the backyard. I was getting really tired watching those young men loading it up. I'm so OCD on things I wipe down all my tools and sharpen the blades when I done, it would drive me nuts if I didn't. My oldest loves coming to my shop, he knows where everything is and its clean ready to go, its a habit (or illness) I learned in the service. Also put on all new stainless brake lines on my Bronco this weekend, 1 line blew, time to change them all out.
Boudreau Guitars it doesn't matter too much for strength in terms of shape. But it does matter in terms of playability and field and all that other good stuff. Thanks for watching my friend.

bobkins270 thank you very much. Yes the dust collection was put off far too long.
A great video,but I mostly watch your repair videos. Thank you for all the instruction and comments.

Jerry, isn't this video No 186? Enjoyed it whatever you call it!
Thanks for the catch. But actually it is 182 Part 5. I am naming all the videos in this series 182. Thanks for the note and for watching.
George, you may be right...there are two 182's, but Jerry is busier than spit on a hot skillet and you have to forgive him...'sides, who counting, I'm just glad he takes the time to put a vid out!

Do ya ever think....it wasn't that you retired, you just became self employed!
John Garrison for sure thanks for watching.
Because the neck is vastly smaller than a guitar neck, does neck shape matter? Thanks, Jerry always look forwards to your videos
Boudreau Guitars it doesn't matter too much for strength in terms of shape. But it does matter in terms of playability and field and all that other good stuff. Thanks for watching my friend.
Jerry,yesterday I noticed you put up a video 186 a national repair today its gone,did you remove it?
+michaeladam caira it's back now. Thanks for watching
Fourth reason for laminate is a nice permanent centre line .
Build Me Up From Bones-Sarah Jarosz
+smolville she's a fine singer. Thank you for watching.
If your laminated block was just a bit longer you could have gotten two necks out of it with less waste and less total work.
boy over 5 minutes until we see work you do like to talk
Steven Richards I guess that's what fast forward is for. Thanks for watching.
