I just found a pic, would you think this'll work to brace it, sorry I can't send the specific picture but I don't know how

no, I don't have any internal shots. The neck and tuners are from a saga am10 kit, if you assembled one of those following the instructions it would give you a pretty good idea how a mandolin is constructed.

Ok, thanks Harrison, just curious, do you have any photos from the construction, sorry, I'm just new to the building side of things, and I'm not sure about setting the braces up,

Elliott, thanks and it's built lime a traditional mandolin. It has cross braced top and a ladder braced back. I did use a sound post Luke a violin on this one to help transmit from the top to the back.

I'm interested in how to re enforce the body to cope with 8 strings

Hey man, I love the mandolin, I'm trying to build one at the moment from scratch for a wood tech project, and I was wondering how you built yours,
