ChrissyChiChi ::: Favorites hah love it,how long did that take you to make? 07-05-20 18:21:50 _____________________________________________________ | |
kd5txo ::: Favorites I built it in a little over a month once I got all the parts together. Next one will have thinner wood thickness... 07-05-20 19:41:59 _____________________________________________________ | |
kd5txo ::: Favorites I hand-planed down the wood to 1.8 mm on this one (two day job) and it's still too thick. This uke is a good strummer, and it fits in a standard business attache case (the reason I built it). I have some digital photos of the building process over at if you care to take a look. Heat bending the sides (two lightbulbs as a heat source) was easier than I thought it would be. 07-05-20 19:45:14 _____________________________________________________ | |

kd5txo ::: Favorites "The modern 'ukulele is a close relative of the cavaquinho of mainland Portugal, and the braguinha of the Portuguese islands of Madeira. Madeira was the homeland of the first large group of Portuguese settlers in Hawaii." "August 23, 1879." 07-05-28 11:33:05 _____________________________________________________ | |
