Beautiful! And congrats to @GrooveStranger on the dorito eating! Had you said nacho cheese flavor I wouldn’t have been that impressed!

Thank you. The Glowforge has completely changed how I do things and the types of intricate inlays I can do. It’s been a great addition to my cache if tools. I wish I took video of how it sounds. It really rings out and has a great mellow tone. I’ll try and get video on my next visit with Freddo.

You say that with the reverence of a man whose experience allows him to compare it with the manual method. The precision of Computer Numeric Control is like a dream come true for those of us who existed before it did.
I can hardly imagine my life without the laser now. Premium craftsmanship man.

Thank you.
Yes. I started my Luthier journey hand bending sides over a hot pipe, cutting inlay with a jewelers saw and learning lots lessons the hard way. I wouldn’t change a thing because that path is exactly how one should grow and mature. I still cut a lot of inlay by hand but also really love the repeatable precision the laser affords me. I often think, wow, I have a laser of my own. Something the child version of me would have loved to know.
Thanks for checking out my work.

Did you do the whole ukelele or just the inlay?

I built the ukulele from scratch. I choose and mill the wood, bend the sides everything is done in my shop. Here is more of my work. Thanks for asking.
