That’s fascinating. Thanks for showing your progress. I look forward to hearing the instrument.
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.
Fabulous! Great work.
Congratulations!!! You have been awarded the Glowforge community post of the month!!!
Truly fantastic.
Great job! Congrats on finishing it! (Sounds good too!)
Well done you two. I can’t wait to hear Max’s first recital.
my bad, new user, apologies
Outstanding, enjoyed following your journeys to completion!
Great project! Thanks for sharing the process!
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
Ashley
Hope you sell a bunch. This was an amazing project.
LOL. Love the reference!
Thank you!
But where’s Tony? (I I crack me up sometimes )
Great idea and wonderful way to spend time with your son
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.
This may help:
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.
