For a second I thought you were going to scallop the *whole* fretboard, like Yngwie Malmsteen was going to be shredding on it.

[@kevintaylor5079]

That’s what I thought! Why even do what he did.? The frets weren’t in the way . What is the point?

[@costrio]

"Mandolin Wine" is a really good tune. Thanks for the thumbs up reminder as I often forget (but I come back to click it. ;)

[@Clfike]

It’s a real pleasure to watch you work, Jerry!

[@redlaur]

I watched Caleb's Channel and you taught him Very well !! Must be a good Teacher !!

[@philgallagher1]

Being English I find I really struggle with the Imperial Crescent Wrenches, so I'm glad to see someone has finally invented one that works in both Imperial and Metric! LOL!😂😂

[@zapa1pnt]

Actually, it's no problem. Whichever you have, just flip it side to side. Works every time. 😁✌🖖

[@A.M......]

Both work just fine. I just turn mine upside down and rotate it diagonally, parallel with the nut and it screws up like a dream.

[@peterrahill9263]

532nd subscriber LIKE; 2,045th desktop view - that mando looks very similar to my 'not-so-expensive' Rover RM-75 - which sounds and plays fine since it's been fitted with a deer antler saddle... no pickguard on mine. Anxious to see/hear how this one sounds. Like a twin.

[@RandySchartiger]

buddy I know what you mean about easier 40 years ago! I took the banjo back up and practice it everyday for a year and 3 months now and STILL am nowhere near where I used to play it, let it lay 30 years and considering letting it lay another 30! lol btw first video of yours I watched in a while on computer, I usually watch them on big screen but can't comment from there.

[@RosaStringWorks]

yeah, I watch on a big screen too. Thanks

[@mitchmatthews6713]

The only scallops I want are potatoes! Stay safe, Jerry!

[@bobl2995]

Thanks Jerry another great video 🇬🇧

[@billmumbo2697]

Oliver's looking good 👍🤘

[@dannyfisher9377]

Great work Jerry! I own that very same Mandolin. I thought that it looked and sounded great when you finished it. My wife and I love your channel and watch it all the time. I appreciate you very much. God Bless you my friend! Danny Fisher

[@mackellmo1083]

Like the mandolin content!

[@OutBoardTink62]

Jerry that was flawless picking and a nice instrument would nver know you are in somewhat of pain doing so I couldnt tell. I cant imagine you playing it any better 40 some odd years ago and I play mandolin myself.I know a few licks but not too many songs.....Glenn

[@billmumbo2697]

Mandolin will look good too👌

[@P_Ezi]

Confession time: Sometimes I use a regular crescent wrench when I really should use a metric crescent wrench.

[@neilfromclearwaterfl81]

To solve that problem I made one that had a metric crescent wrench on one end and SAE on the other. It has to be true since I even stamped Metric on one end and SAE on the other. ;> Best!

[@zapa1pnt]

All you really need to do is flip it side to side. Works for me. 😁✌🖖

[@neilfromclearwaterfl81]

@@zapa1pnt On the one I made up as a gag sadly too many thought it was really needed and didn't understand the joke. It did allow you to adjust to two different sizes at the same time with one wrench though which is convenient in some situations but... Best!

[@jamesjohnson4590]

If you use the wrong tool be prepared to live with the outcome!

[@michaelpthompson]

If the tuner's turn backwards, try swapping them from side to side. That's usually a sign that somebody put them on wrong

[@RosaStringWorks]

You cannot swap F style tuners

[@michaelpthompson]

@@RosaStringWorks I didn't know that, thanks. It worked on my ancient tater bug. :-)

[@qillerdaemon9331]

As a classical mandolinist, it sort of breaks my heart a little to see those "decoration" frets being yanked out like that. Or even watching the "Florida" cut off. Yea, I really do play up there on those tiny spaced frets, same way a violinist does high on the fingerboard. I play on a regular F4 style archtop, not a tater bug, and while I know you bluegrass folks don't think much of them, those little high frets are a big part of the music I play. Any way, another excellent vid, Jerry, always something to learn from your work!

[@zapa1pnt]

Mandolinist? Wouldn't that be mandolist? Like pianoist/pianist? Just sounds strange. 😁✌🖖

[@qillerdaemon9331]

@@zapa1pnt lol, I think a mandolist would be a mandola player, same way a viola player is a violist.

[@zapa1pnt]

@@qillerdaemon9331: Yeah, I get ya. And you mention violist. That makes me think of violinist. Violinist and mandolinist are the same word form. So, I learned something. 😁✌🖖

[@PracticaProphetica]

@@zapa1pnt Or, in Italian, "mandolinista"!

[@davidsteward5491]

Thanks, really enjoyed watching, a master at work.

[@northwood60]

Always love your vids, Jerry. I found your channel about 3 months back and binged watched everything! Also love your short shop talk and updates. Have a great break!

[@johnhicks7057]

Thank you so much congratulation on your 10 years

[@tonywampler217]

Very good

[@davemayberry9938]

Jerry, my dad...used to drink too much, then play & sing that little ditty: but his lyrics weren’t “G” rated. Something about an unafraid Indian maid named Mabel, a young cowboy, and a unexpected & unwanted pregnancy.......followed by the chorus. That referred to the moon, and a part of Mabel it shone upon. I was wondering if you ever knew or heard of that version? 😁 Great video, you do amazing work!👍👍👍👍

[@jthonn]

The Mandolin man strikes again! Great job as usual.👍

[@mikebennett7261]

Thanks Jerry 👍

[@jeffgrier8488]

You always do great work Jerry!

[@ronanderson5736]

Great job Jerry! You are an amazing artist!

[@harrisonmantooth7363]

This was an awesome video. I always enjoy watching Jerry perform his magic on these Acoustic Instruments. Thanks. Stan

[@that_thing_I_do]

Crescent wrench -both metric and standard,,,,will it remove a high speed muffler bearing?

[@mortensen1961]

Only after you've changed your blinker fluid. . . .

[@davestambaugh7282]

Pitch is measured in pennies to my logic. What you see are hares and what you hear are pennies.

[@laurenceharper4225]

Hi, I was just wondering why the frets at the end of the fretboard are removed. Thanks. Best regards

[@wsearp]

When you sand or grind down a fret board or nut, if you keep the dust you create, you can mix it with the glue or paste you will use for filler and match the color with it....

[@RosaStringWorks]

I did that for years and years and it sucks because the glue and the sawdust shrinks and shrinks and shrinks and shrinks

[@endtimeguitarist]

Would you ever scallop the board of an electric? I didn’t want to post here because because I’m figuring you have an email for service requests but I couldn’t resist asking because I’ve wanted to play a scalloped board again for years. I did my own before with an Ibanez but I no longer have the tools and don’t want to chance my current line up.

[@seanmartinman7946]

Did you make that levelling file yourself JR or buy it, if you made it can you show how it’s made as it seems to be a stone and wood.

[@davidmcghee1824]

Scalloped looks good! It does look better like that and with the strings cut off. Almost to hiatus!

[@edd2771]

Curious why you didn’t oil the fretboard? Would have helped match the dye?

[@RosaStringWorks]

I did. I just don't show everything.

[@edd2771]

@@RosaStringWorks of course!

[@garycooper4526]

What is the purpose of scalloping?

[@Antoon55]

What's the point of the scallop?

[@nicirvin1994]

Excuse my Ignorance.. I'm a Guitar player so.. Why do you scallop the fret board.. 🤔

[@Anonymous-fh1zq]

If I’m correct, I believe it’s due to the fact that those frets are never actually used and create unwanted vibrations when plucking the strings. So people decide to remove those frets and scallop that part of the board. Hope this helps.
