Okay, now all that boring stuff is out of the way, it's time to get my mandrill ready. I followed his procedures for the mandrill.. kind of.

His elaborate lock up and axle system for his was imo unnecessary for building only a few tubes. I used a mailing tube that had a 3" OD, and wrapped it with mylar. The edge is taped with scotch tape, because epoxy won't stick to it. The ends were wrapped with painters tape, and folded over to prevent epoxy from getting behind the mylar.

Ignore the rocketry mandrill, the Oak is just in front of it. At this point I was still waiting on my Spanish Cedar, hydrometer, hydration device, hinge, grain filler, and I had yet to decide on the finish.
