Nice job Caleb, the magnet idea really is a cool technique.

Happy to see a new upload from you! Enjoyed it from the beginning to the end. Remember, Jerry after retirement does not put out videos like this anymore. Us addicts need fresh supply of them. Cheers!

That's a really nice example of a well used 105 year old Mandolin closing in on 106 since 2024 is less than a month away. I cheat and use the Sharpies too. Easy to have a bigger selection of colors and widely available at most office and craft supply stores. I also have been known to use food coloring mixed with 90% alcohol for custom colors. Best!

A styles sound really nice, just not as loud. One of my mates did a finish restore on a 1912 signed by Orville Gibson himself. Awesome old box, but the finish had reacted with a fancy new case foam. Keep up the good work mate. I'm glad to see you stepping out of the old boss's shadow more. Much as I admire him he wasn't always right.

Noice! As with wine, instruments can gather quality with age, and it's a great thing when they are restored and not trashed. Nice job you have dude.

Using one of those little rubber suckers works well for forcing the glue into the cracks.

I am waiting on you to tell me what kind of glue. You have said the word glue at least a dozen times but not what kind of glue. I have a crack in my mandolin as well going with the grain right down the middle of it

It is important to know what humidity is the safe place for a wooden instrument . My best acoustics need 45-55 percent . Otherwise left to whatever results in instrument damage .

Very Cool, Thankyou Caleb. Awesome Work. I am thinking of getting a 1940's Australian Made Acoustic with a minor Crack on Face Similar to this . This video made me more confident in getting the Guitar and try and fix crack. Sharpie's are so awesome for fixing minor blemishes. All the Best. Cheers

Caleb, nice job! When I want to get glue down into a crack or spread in places I can't get into I use pressurized air to force the glue in. A little pancake air compressor with a nozzle might work well for you. I would however keep the air pressure low especially on something as delicate as a 112 yr old mandolin. Think about it. Also I have a question. I've watched a lot of videos on lowing the action on a mandolin and using a pick at the 12th fret but no one ever says what thickness of pick. What thickness of pick would you suggest when setting the action on a mandolin? Thanks, JW.
