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.

The apprentice

I am not cloned, the instance to the right in the pic is really Lars. Lars will build a mezzosoprano of cherry under my stern and sometimes angry guidance.

This was the first actual building session, and the plates for top and back were joined.
