Building a better world, uke by uke.
This is my building diary. I build ukuleles in my apartment workshop. I try to label the posts, so if you're interested in anything in particular you might find it by clicking the labels.
Feel free to contact me if there is anything you want to ask, or even better; tell me.
Good evening! I cut the slots and put the frets in tonight. In the pic the pao ferro fretboard just rests on the neck, and a rosewood bridge blank plays the part of mock up bridge. The pao ferro bridge blank was still too big to resemble a bridge.
No markers on this one, except for side dots. They'll be my regular 1.6 mm white dots.
Yup, I am too. It's my first with really strange woods you know. Even mahogany is quite exotic to a bloke in Sweden, but I'm sort of used to it. All the resin on the bent sides was easy to scrape off btw, so it's gonna look mighty fine.
And I ground the fret ends and glued the fretboard as well, after the pic was taken.

Don't know about you, but I'm excited...!

Looks like a nice faceplate!
Aces... I'll probably explode with excitement when it's finished :)
