Another neck...

My friend Robin, the famous Baron K, has asked me for a uke of
mahogany and cedar. He got a thin slice of swedish ash as well, I
think it will look good. And sort of fast.

I got a little too much to do really! Orders will take time. Or I
won't be participating much in family life.

But... it's fun.

Thickness sander upgrade II

In order to fasten the paper better, I made the groove and fitted an
aluminium profile with threaded inserts. A piece from the mini drill
press holds the drill far better than it was before.

I took some pieces down to thickness. In one hour it was as follows:
- Top, sides and back for a mahogany soprano
- Back and sides for a mahogany sop that will have a cedar top
- A one piece rim of wenge for a tenor
- Three cherry sides for piccolo ukes
- One walnut fretboard

Whew!

Mahogany soprano for Thomas (no. 7)

And here are some scrap pieces of really nice honduran mahogany being
glued to a top for Thomas at the lumber yard. He gave me a discount,
started an account, AND ordered a ukulele! I promised him it during
the autumn, so it has sort of jumped into the queue.
