Well, after high school, 09:40.666 --> 09:45.633 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% I felt the need to study further, to go to college. 09:48.933 --> 09:52.633 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% And it just so happened that the local university 09:52.633 --> 09:56.866 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% had a guitar teacher who also taught mandolin. 09:56.866 --> 09:59.666 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% So I was able to do a mandolin degree 09:59.666 --> 10:02.833 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:42.5% at the University of Michigan Flint, 10:02.833 --> 10:04.633 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% much like you would do a guitar degree 10:04.633 --> 10:06.466 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% or any other instrument. 10:06.466 --> 10:09.833 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:50% And they adapted the program for mandolin. 10:09.833 --> 10:13.966 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% But while I was there, yeah, the local news did a story 10:13.966 --> 10:17.566 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:35% on my building and that was nice. 10:17.566 --> 10:18.900 align:start position:30% line:84.67% size:37.5% - That's great. 10:18.900 --> 10:22.033 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% How did you end up in Nashville, Tennessee? 10:23.566 --> 10:28.000 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% - Well, I had gone to, I don't think they run this anymore. 10:31.300 --> 10:32.700 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80% I don't think it exists anymore, 10:32.700 --> 10:37.266 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% but the mandolin symposium, which Mike Marshall, 10:37.266 --> 10:41.300 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% the mandolin player, he headed that up. 10:41.300 --> 10:46.233 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:42.5% And it was a week long of mandolin class 10:46.233 --> 10:48.733 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% and basically a full mandolin immersion 10:48.733 --> 10:53.666 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% out in Santa Cruz, California, University of San Jose. 10:57.533 --> 11:00.166 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:40% And I went there on a scholarship. 11:00.166 --> 11:03.533 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:72.5% I was able to get scholarship from my university, 11:03.533 --> 11:06.733 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80% and I just enjoyed that so much. 11:06.733 --> 11:11.733 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% And I met some people there who lived here and they said, 11:13.166 --> 11:14.833 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:72.5% why don't you come down here? 11:14.833 --> 11:17.000 align:start position:20% line:74% size:57.5% I mean, you're building mandolins, you're playing mandolins. 11:17.000 --> 11:21.966 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% Nashville was, you know, it made sense to come here 11:23.600 --> 11:28.000 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% and continue the craft and to meet people 11:28.000 --> 11:31.866 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:72.5% and to be able to be immersed in the music here as well. 11:31.866 --> 11:33.900 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% - Well, as a woodworker, 11:35.100 --> 11:39.966 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% there's a lot of woodworking in a mandolin. 11:42.466 --> 11:47.366 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% Tell us about some of the parts of a mandolin 11:47.366 --> 11:50.400 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5% and how wood and wire kind of come together. 11:50.400 --> 11:55.333 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:72.5% - Sure, so a mandolin is made much like an archtop guitar 12:00.433 --> 12:05.366 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% where you have a body and then you have a neck, 12:06.433 --> 12:09.433 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:37.5% which the notes are selected here 12:09.433 --> 12:11.533 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:67.5% and strings running across. 12:11.533 --> 12:14.866 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:45% So the strings are connected to a tailpiece, 12:14.866 --> 12:16.466 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:65% like on an archtop guitar, 12:17.733 --> 12:21.833 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5% and they run over the bridge and down the neck 12:21.833 --> 12:23.466 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:77.5% and to the tuning machines here 12:23.466 --> 12:25.833 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% where you can adjust the tension like a guitar. 12:27.100 --> 12:31.733 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% The main difference is obviously the size. 12:31.733 --> 12:34.266 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% The mandolins tune like a violin. 12:34.266 --> 12:37.400 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:72.5% And so the pitch is the same. 12:37.400 --> 12:40.300 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% So a lot of violin music you would play 12:40.300 --> 12:42.333 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% translates well on mandolin. 12:43.266 --> 12:45.400 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:57.5% And you have a top here 12:45.400 --> 12:49.300 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:40% which receives a vibration of the strings. 12:49.300 --> 12:50.666 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% - [Charles] So this is not glued down? 12:50.666 --> 12:52.200 align:start position:35% line:84.67% size:27.5% - It's not. 12:52.200 --> 12:56.600 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% So that will come off, and sometimes it happens on accident 12:56.600 --> 12:59.833 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5% and that's something I have to fix for people sometimes. 12:59.833 --> 13:04.100 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% But the sound is transferred through the top here 13:04.100 --> 13:05.366 align:start position:30% line:84.67% size:37.5% and it vibrates 13:05.366 --> 13:07.566 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5% and then comes back out through the sound holes. 13:07.566 --> 13:12.533 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:65% And the back also vibrates sympathetically with the top, 13:13.733 --> 13:15.233 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% so that has a lot to do with the sound. 13:17.900 --> 13:21.200 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% There are a few braces on the inside of the instrument 13:21.200 --> 13:22.833 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:67.5% that help support the sound 13:22.833 --> 13:26.766 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% and help create the tone as you hear it. 13:26.766 --> 13:28.433 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:52.5% - I heard tone woods. 13:28.433 --> 13:29.900 align:start position:42.5% line:84.67% size:15% - Yes. 13:29.900 --> 13:33.400 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% - And so what are the tone woods that are used here? 13:33.400 --> 13:35.033 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80% - In this particular instrument, 13:35.033 --> 13:39.733 align:start position:37.5% line:79.33% size:27.5% you have an Adirondack spruce top, 13:39.733 --> 13:41.300 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:52.5% which are really nice 13:41.300 --> 13:45.666 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% because you can carve them quite thin, 13:45.666 --> 13:48.800 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% but they still retain their strength, 13:48.800 --> 13:52.500 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:35% so they end up vibrating quite nicely. 13:52.500 --> 13:55.966 align:start position:27.5% line:74% size:45% And they work well for instruments, especially the mandolin. 13:55.966 --> 13:58.200 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% - And the tops and sides 13:58.200 --> 14:01.066 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% or the bottoms and sides are different, right? 14:01.066 --> 14:02.566 align:start position:37.5% line:84.67% size:20% - Right. 14:02.566 --> 14:06.600 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% So this is some very nicely figured maple back inside. 14:09.766 --> 14:14.500 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% And largely, maple is used because it's structural 14:16.800 --> 14:18.933 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:65% just to hold the shape and the form of the instrument. 14:18.933 --> 14:22.233 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:77.5% The neck also is made of maple. 14:22.233 --> 14:25.300 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:77.5% - But there's so much art here. 14:26.400 --> 14:29.300 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% All of this little, is this binding? 14:29.300 --> 14:31.200 align:start position:25% line:84.67% size:50% - It's binding, yes. 14:31.200 --> 14:33.633 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% - And this all applied and cut by hand. 14:33.633 --> 14:35.066 align:start position:37.5% line:79.33% size:20% - It is. - Glued on. 14:35.066 --> 14:36.666 align:start position:37.5% line:79.33% size:20% - It is. - Yeah. 14:36.666 --> 14:41.466 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:42.5% - So this binding is nitrocellulose, 14:41.466 --> 14:43.333 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75% same stuff as ping pong balls. 14:43.333 --> 14:44.166 align:start position:37.5% line:84.67% size:22.5% - Really? 14:44.166 --> 14:45.066 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:55% Wow, didn't know that. 14:46.533 --> 14:50.800 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% - But basically we mandolin makers will cut a channel 14:50.800 --> 14:52.833 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:47.5% or a ledge into the side of the instrument, 14:52.833 --> 14:55.566 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:72.5% and then this binding is bent 14:55.566 --> 14:58.866 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% and glued into that channel. 14:58.866 --> 15:00.600 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:77.5% - Well, you've got a shop here. 15:00.600 --> 15:02.033 align:start position:40% line:84.67% size:17.5% - I do. 15:02.033 --> 15:04.566 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% - Can you take us down and show us how you do it? 15:04.566 --> 15:05.400 align:start position:35% line:84.67% size:27.5% - Let's go. 15:05.400 --> 15:06.200 align:start position:35% line:84.67% size:30% - All right. 15:07.433 --> 15:10.833 align:start position:20% line:10% size:57.5% (upbeat acoustic music) 15:16.833 --> 15:20.966 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% (upbeat acoustic music continues) 15:25.800 --> 15:29.933 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% (upbeat acoustic music continues) 15:34.600 --> 15:38.733 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% (upbeat acoustic music continues) 15:45.266 --> 15:46.566 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:52.5% These are tone woods. 15:46.566 --> 15:48.233 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% Is this where it all starts? 15:48.233 --> 15:51.100 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:72.5% - It is, so what we have here 15:52.533 --> 15:57.466 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65% is one very highly figured maple back for a mandolin. 15:58.733 --> 16:02.200 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% Two piece came out of the tree like this, 16:02.200 --> 16:05.500 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:50% and we're gonna glue it together like this 16:05.500 --> 16:08.466 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:45% and we'll carve it 16:08.466 --> 16:11.566 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% and this will will be the backside of a mandolin. 16:11.566 --> 16:13.700 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:35% - Now, that is beautifully figured. 16:15.300 --> 16:17.100 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:42.5% It just shimmers. 16:17.100 --> 16:18.933 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:42.5% - [Dan] You would be hard pressed 16:18.933 --> 16:22.633 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% to find a figured maple more figured than this. 16:22.633 --> 16:25.333 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:67.5% This is really outstanding. 16:25.333 --> 16:27.066 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:55% - So, that's the back. 16:27.066 --> 16:30.300 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:55% And then there there's material for the sides. 16:30.300 --> 16:31.100 align:start position:30% line:84.67% size:37.5% - That's right. 16:32.333 --> 16:37.300 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% So here we have some mandolin side stock 16:38.233 --> 16:40.233 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75% that I've sanded to thickness. 16:40.233 --> 16:45.233 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% And we will steam bend this to get the shape 16:46.400 --> 16:48.033 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:42.5% for the perimeter of the instrument. 16:48.033 --> 16:49.866 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80% - And it's figured also to match 16:49.866 --> 16:50.666 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:35% - [Dan] It is. 16:50.666 --> 16:52.166 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:57.5% - And that's very nice. 16:52.166 --> 16:55.533 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% Yeah, very thin, but you'll steam it. 16:55.533 --> 16:57.066 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:52.5% - [Dan] That's right. 16:57.066 --> 17:00.133 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% - [Charles] So you can make those beautiful graceful curves 17:00.133 --> 17:02.066 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:77.5% that the mandolin is known for. 17:02.066 --> 17:03.333 align:start position:30% line:84.67% size:37.5% - That's right. 17:03.333 --> 17:07.733 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% - And then for the top, what have we got? 17:07.733 --> 17:12.000 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:42.5% - So for the top, we have a two piece, 17:12.000 --> 17:14.733 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% much like the back, but it's a different wood. 17:14.733 --> 17:19.000 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% Instead of maple, we'll use Adirondack spruce. 17:19.000 --> 17:22.833 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:55% And structurally, it's sufficient for the top, 17:22.833 --> 17:27.733 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% but much lighter in weight and tone wood also, 17:27.733 --> 17:29.666 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:42.5% because it rings. 17:29.666 --> 17:31.233 align:start position:35% line:84.67% size:30% - Let's see. 17:31.233 --> 17:32.733 align:start position:35% line:84.67% size:30% (wood thuds) 17:32.733 --> 17:34.033 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75% You have to hang it like this. 17:34.033 --> 17:34.833 align:start position:30% line:84.67% size:37.5% - That's right. 17:36.633 --> 17:38.566 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:47.5% There's a node here 17:38.566 --> 17:42.533 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% somewhere around three, four inches from that corner. 17:42.533 --> 17:44.100 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:35% (wood dinging) 17:44.100 --> 17:45.366 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:57.5% You can get it to sing. 17:45.366 --> 17:47.233 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:35% (wood tapping) 17:47.233 --> 17:49.933 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:42.5% - Oh, yours sings better than mine. 17:49.933 --> 17:51.166 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:32.5% That's great. 17:51.166 --> 17:53.366 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% Well, there's also a neck and so forth. 17:53.366 --> 17:55.733 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:72.5% Can you show us those pieces? 17:55.733 --> 17:59.466 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% - So here we have a mandolin neck in its early stages. 18:00.800 --> 18:04.766 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5% You can see here how it was one piece, this width, 18:04.766 --> 18:08.100 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5% but we've glued on some ears to make it big enough 18:08.100 --> 18:11.100 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:42.5% for the headstock pattern to fit. 18:11.100 --> 18:13.866 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% Also, we've routed a channel 18:13.866 --> 18:16.200 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% and put a truss rod in here, 18:16.200 --> 18:18.166 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:42.5% and the truss rod helps to counteract 18:18.166 --> 18:21.633 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% the tension of the strings to keep the neck straight. 18:21.633 --> 18:23.033 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:77.5% - And that's important I guess, 18:23.033 --> 18:25.366 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% so it keeps it from having a bow, or... 18:25.366 --> 18:26.200 align:start position:30% line:84.67% size:37.5% - That's right. 18:26.200 --> 18:27.666 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:45% - Yeah, wonderful. 18:29.066 --> 18:31.866 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% So there's a bit of engineering that goes on here. 18:31.866 --> 18:35.200 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% - There is, just equalizing the tension of the strings, 18:35.200 --> 18:37.766 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% keeping the neck straight allows the instrument 18:37.766 --> 18:39.233 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% to play as easy as possible. 18:39.233 --> 18:43.833 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% - Well, I've seen different styles of mandolins. 18:43.833 --> 18:47.533 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5% In the United States, there's an an A-model. 18:47.533 --> 18:48.800 align:start position:30% line:84.67% size:37.5% - That's right. 18:48.800 --> 18:52.633 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% - And this is an F-5, is that what it's known as? 18:52.633 --> 18:54.066 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:47.5% - Yes, the F-model, 18:54.066 --> 18:58.966 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% which it's known for its extra curves and appointments. 19:00.233 --> 19:02.366 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% - Yeah, who designed this type of mandolin? 19:02.366 --> 19:06.033 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% - Yes, so actually in the early 20th century, 19:06.033 --> 19:10.800 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% Gibson came out with the first F-model mandolins 19:10.800 --> 19:13.800 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% or the mandolins with a scroll on them. 19:13.800 --> 19:18.766 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% And Lloyd Loar has popularized these F-style mandolins, 19:20.033 --> 19:21.800 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% and they have become sort of the foundation 19:21.800 --> 19:26.366 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:55% on which your modern F mandolin is built on today, 19:26.366 --> 19:27.966 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% that fundamental design. 19:27.966 --> 19:30.333 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% - And so usually like with bluegrass music 19:30.333 --> 19:35.300 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% or old time music, it might be an F-model, 19:36.533 --> 19:39.300 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% but it could also be an old A-model too. 19:39.300 --> 19:40.700 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:32.5% - Sure, yeah. 19:40.700 --> 19:43.433 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% And A-model, they're built much in the same way, 19:43.433 --> 19:48.400 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:70% carved top, carved back, and they sound also quite the same. 19:52.366 --> 19:55.300 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% I would say F-model gets a little more attention 19:55.300 --> 19:58.633 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:50% because of the flare it has in the design. 19:58.633 --> 19:59.833 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% But mandolin has been around 19:59.833 --> 20:01.866 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% a long time before that, actually. 20:01.866 --> 20:05.266 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% Mandolins used to have a flat top with a bowl back, 20:05.266 --> 20:08.000 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:45% which is a totally different construction. 20:08.000 --> 20:12.966 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5% And they all originate from the lute family instruments. 20:14.366 --> 20:16.866 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% So there's all kinds of shapes and sizes of mandolin. 20:16.866 --> 20:19.600 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% - How do you put all the parts together? 20:19.600 --> 20:21.933 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:72.5% - So I had stock before here. 20:21.933 --> 20:24.600 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% And we said we were gonna bend this into this shape, 20:24.600 --> 20:26.166 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% so that's what we have here. 20:27.133 --> 20:30.500 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% And all the side pieces are glued 20:30.500 --> 20:35.500 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% onto these mahogany blocks here and they retain, 20:36.766 --> 20:38.233 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% or they hold the shape of the instrument 20:38.233 --> 20:41.266 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80% and give some structural points. 20:41.266 --> 20:43.500 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:62.5% Also, we have some lining 20:43.500 --> 20:47.100 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% or curved lining with small cuts here 20:47.100 --> 20:51.500 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% to allow you to bend and glue this piece there. 20:51.500 --> 20:54.733 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% And that gives you a ledge to glue your top 20:54.733 --> 20:56.733 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% and your back onto the instrument. 20:56.733 --> 20:59.100 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% So that's essentially the gluing surface there. 21:00.000 --> 21:01.233 align:start position:42.5% line:84.67% size:15% - Wow. 21:01.233 --> 21:06.100 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% Now, to to curve the top and the back, 21:07.700 --> 21:11.533 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5% it takes some special tools and a special eye. 21:11.533 --> 21:16.000 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% I think the specifications are very specific. 21:16.000 --> 21:19.933 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:65% - Yes, it's very important actually how thin the top is, 21:19.933 --> 21:22.600 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:37.5% how high or how low the arching is 21:22.600 --> 21:26.833 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% all plays a role into how it moves, 21:26.833 --> 21:30.000 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% the flexibility of it and how it ultimately sounds. 21:30.000 --> 21:31.133 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:37.5% - Will you show us how you do it? 21:31.133 --> 21:32.033 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:45% - Sure, let's see. 21:33.400 --> 21:37.033 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% - So I see that this is an F-style top 21:37.033 --> 21:39.900 align:start position:30% line:84.67% size:40% and it's arched. 21:39.900 --> 21:44.900 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:47.5% In fact, it kind of recurves out this way 21:45.700 --> 21:47.233 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:47.5% all the way around. 21:47.233 --> 21:51.733 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% It takes some special skills to be able to shape this. 21:53.000 --> 21:55.033 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:42.5% Tell us about the tools and the skills. 21:55.033 --> 21:57.733 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% - Sure, so we have to remove everything 21:57.733 --> 21:59.633 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:55% that's not a mandolin. 21:59.633 --> 22:02.633 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:42.5% This has a couple elements to it. 22:02.633 --> 22:04.300 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:65% It's got a peak arch here. 22:04.300 --> 22:06.400 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% And like you were saying, it's got a recurve 22:06.400 --> 22:09.833 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% or a low point kind of around this area. 22:09.833 --> 22:11.433 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:67.5% And then it's got a scroll. 22:11.433 --> 22:14.533 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% So basically we just have to make all this come together 22:14.533 --> 22:15.900 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:47.5% and blend it all in 22:15.900 --> 22:19.466 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% and finalize our exterior shape of the top. 22:19.466 --> 22:24.233 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:70% To do that, what I do is I'm gonna turn off all the lights 22:24.233 --> 22:25.900 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:35% and we'll just use this lamp here 22:25.900 --> 22:28.600 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:67.5% to cast shadows on the top. 22:28.600 --> 22:31.833 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% And you'll see how that will help cast shadows 22:31.833 --> 22:35.300 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:42.5% to exaggerate the imperfections in the surface 22:35.300 --> 22:37.066 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% and make it easier to shape. 22:37.066 --> 22:39.200 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% - All right, can't wait to do it. 22:39.200 --> 22:43.400 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% - [Dan] So a few tools I'd like to use here 22:43.400 --> 22:48.400 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% are a gouge or a chisel that has a little curve on it. 22:49.633 --> 22:52.700 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% And I like this because I can come in here 22:54.800 --> 22:59.033 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% and I can remove just small amounts of wood 22:59.033 --> 23:03.933 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5% and sneak up to my line on the scroll like this. 23:03.933 --> 23:06.633 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% - [Charles] And grain wise, you're moving downhill. 23:06.633 --> 23:07.966 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75% - [Dan] Always going downhill. 23:07.966 --> 23:09.166 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:32.5% That's right. 23:09.166 --> 23:10.833 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:62.5% So another tool we'll use 23:10.833 --> 23:15.033 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% is some sandpaper on a hard foam block. 23:15.033 --> 23:18.000 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% I'll actually bend this here with my hand 23:18.000 --> 23:19.600 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:62.5% to conform to this shape, 23:19.600 --> 23:21.866 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% and that way we can smooth everything out. 23:21.866 --> 23:24.666 align:start position:25% line:84.67% size:50% (sandpaper scraping) 23:24.666 --> 23:27.233 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% But the more you do it, the more familiar you are 23:27.233 --> 23:30.400 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% with the shape of the instrument, the faster it goes. 23:31.833 --> 23:33.233 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% - [Charles] And the light really makes a difference 23:33.233 --> 23:35.633 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% cecause you could see all the little undulations 23:35.633 --> 23:38.366 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% and everything, the flats and the curves 23:38.366 --> 23:39.633 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:67.5% and how they come together. 23:39.633 --> 23:41.433 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% -
