I know my updating/ progress has been slow but I have been playing and practicing my claw hammer/frailing strum on my Banjo more recently.  But anyway I have taken the plywood sides out of the mould. I have also cut the back and front sides of the uke and added a hole in the front side for the sound hole. ;D  |

It's coming along nicely Sam, good work. Are you buying a pre slotted fret board or are you gonna have a go at cutting them yourself?

I was going to try to make everything myself but I might end up buying one.

Sorry Sam I forget to say that there is a superb college that runs courses in luthiery.
It is in Morden Surrey. Dunno where you are located , but if its too far away they would probablly be helpful with advice.
Nice to see some hands on where it counts.
Keep it up.
Best wishes Pete

I finally got round to doing some more bits to my ukulele (sorry to keep you waiting) As you can see from the photo I have made and stuck braces on the inside of the front and back of the ukulele and I have stuck the side and back parts together. I have also started work on the neck but no photos as of yet. BanjoSam   |
