Mandolin Making from Scratch. From Pine and Spruce Logs to a Complete Mandolin

Here is the entire process of building a Mandolin from scratch. Please note that several parts of this build are made using a new method developed and designed by master luthier, Ahmad Alikhani. This includes the one-piece neck (as opposed to the traditional two-piece), the one-piece body, (as opposed to the traditional ironing method) as well as the tuners' design. This is purely for demonstrative purposes and by no means intended to teach you how to make your own Mandolin. I hope you enjoy watching it.
