Where do you get the F5 mandolin Rim and block clamp set? can you buy the block and clamps somewhere. I have a F5 mandolin kit. with the top, bottom and the rims already assembled. Just need to a line the rim and glue it in place. Which that would help me to do .
@@tothepoint7258 thank you for your (late) answer ;). Actually I see no reason losen the blocks apart - ever. If I would have a repair-job which needs to remove the top, back or the neck I don´t want to worry about these joints. Usually I use Titebond 3 for parts I don´t want to come apart and/or need some extra time (longer assembly time then Original Titebond). For joints which might need to come aparte easier, like the neck joint (neck-reset) I use hide glue. When reglueing a Titebond joint you always have to remove at least a little of the wood to have a good bond because Titebond does not glue on (old) Titebond...
How I wish this fixture was still available
What is the thickness of the sides?
Very nice work

roger,you have a blueprint for a 17 inch wide archtop guitar..?let me know.
why not using Titebond 2 or 3 for the rim section?
2 and 3 are water resistant. Original will come apart with heat and steam. Much harder with 2 and 3
