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 news, and piccolos
Fantastic day! I cleaned the workshop (actually found a place for the thickness sander), made and installed top side solid linings, made kerfed lining, picked neck blanks and am now glueing the first bridge patch. I even put a radius in the soundboard.

Gah! More piccolos!
I started three more. The workshop is a mess. It is the mother of all messes. But it sort of works somehow.
The sides on these three (and some more to follow) are a little better than the previous ones. They are closer to being perfectly quarter sawn.

Bridge for UU colab
I promised a long time ago that I would make some very small parts of the international Fun Build project, spawned by Vic on Ukulele Underground. Of course I forgot all about it. Almost. But the others have made a unique uke, and all of a sudden I was in a hurry. My name is already on the label!
So I made these, and I'll ship them tomorrow to Brad Donaldson in Seattle, who's assembling the uke.
