I'm always amazed at how some of the repairs you get are like adventures that most people could not hack. They would quit, take shortcuts, fail or just die. But your skills, resourcefulness, intelligence and just plain stubbornness puts you in the hero's shoes on jobs like this. Much respect and admiration. I want to be like that. Thanks.

When I was 14 I had the privilege of working alongside Sam Bush for a week or so. He was employed by my brother in law at Tennessee musical instruments and one project was building open back mountain banjos. One particular one was done in a sunburst finish and it was given to me for helping out. It was incredible to be surrounded by musicians who would jam in the old post office on breaks or when a client came in and wanted to demo one of the many instruments. Amazing to watch people just exude talent. It looked effortless but years of playing were manifested before my eyes. I still have the banjo but have never really mastered it. It is a one of a kind with a serial number of 001. I have always appreciated the experience and the music from the many talents I was able to meet.

I've learned a lot from Jerry.... I had a Kentucky with a broken neck .. it came apart at the scarfing joint.. I fixed it myself after not being able to find a luthier in the area... you can't hardly tell it was broken. I have also built deer antler saddles for both my Kentucky mandolin and Martin guitar... and I have done a neck reset on that Martin... That Martin was risky I know... I should have practiced on a cheaper guitar first.... but the action was .140 high.. it is now only its .87 ... Saved myself a ton of $$$$ and with the deer antler saddle this thing is now a flat picking machine .

The owner spent way more on repairs than the instrument was worth including the previous repairs and economically should have bought a new one but as we all know its not always about the money, clearly that Mandoline is well loved and has a place in the owners heart, well done for giving the owner back a bit of joy, we all need that in our lives.

Can I humbly suggest that - if you don't already have one - you get a USB endoscope camera. They're pretty cheap, come with built-in lighting and are ideal for getting close-up shots in tight corners. Would also fit in an f-hole/sound hole for an easy look-around inside an instrument body. We use them at work (nuclear engineering) and they are often worth their weight in platinum. Would mean a bit more video editing, but IMHO would be worth it.
