A Workshop Guide to Building Four Styles of Mandolin 

The Mandolin Project details the construction of four mandolins, including
- a flat-top/flat-back,
- a bent-top/flat-back,
- a Celtic carved-top/flat-back and
- a fully carved A style

The book is comprehensively illustrated with photographs, diagrams and plans and includes an extensive chapter on the history of the mandolin.

The original print run has now sold out (June, 2017) and is being reprinted in shorter digital print runs. I do have a few  of the original copies left, which are available at a discount price. The original print run was done with 'lay-flat' perfect binding, with full size plans inserted into an envelope in the back of the book. There are also some ring-bound copies available.

The Australian price is A$35 (inc postage within Australia)

It is also available as an epub for US$9.99. Please click on the button below. The downloaded .zip file contains the plans as a printable pdf. After the payment is finalised, you will be redirected to another page with a download link.
