Here we go.! Last couple of steps, and the big reveal…

Ukulele Build - Step 10 - Painted and bridge glued on. Almost done!

Ukulele Build - Step 11 - Installing the tuners. So close now!

Ukulele Build - Step 12 - Installing the strings. Done!

The Ukulele Max and Dad Built…

That’s it for now…
Next step is Max and I need to learn to play the Ukulele!

I do plan to work on a second ukulele. Take all the learning from making this one, refine the design and build. Also add some decorations to make the ukulele a little more unique.

Thank you everyone for watching. This has been a fun project.

Quick project update. Had a few people ask about the designs for my Ukulele. I’ve recently released them on Etsy for anyone that is interested.

Thanks

This post is awesome, I bought these files. Does anyone know How to engrave the fret board so that it creates deep grooves to input the frets? I tried to score it 3 times over, but that didnt do much lol.

I suggest that you contact the file seller if watching his videos of the build are not instructive enough.

That is terrific.

I have to be honest. when I saw “Soprano” i was thinking Tony was going to be engraved on it, along the lines of the Addams family pinball game.
