Mastering Acoustic Guitar Making, Octave Mandolin Assembly: The Final Stretch, Hand tools and CNC

It's important to note that the following steps involve attaching the neck to the body, installing the fretboard, attaching the back, and installing the binding. This requires precision and attention to detail to ensure that the instrument is properly intonated and playable. Additionally, the neck and heel are shaped to final dimensions. Overall, the process of assembling an octave mandolin is a labor of love that requires patience and skill, but the end result is a beautiful and unique instrument that can bring joy to its players and listeners alike.
