M_A_T_T Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Ukes aren't very hard to make, quite fun actually. I've built four. With the help of those tut's you should be able to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shimmy Posted November 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Hi MATT yea I really want to put alot of effort in and make it really nice....its actually for my daughter......shes only 2 so I got plenty of time ...I really want to do some inlays and have been doing quite a bit of research on doing it....has anyone here had much experience with it? Iwas just wondering how intricate I Could get without having a CNC machine....I just looked at that 11pages of the violin you made....it looks amazing....thought you might know a thing or 2 about it ... I was thinking of using mahogany for the whole thing and was going to try to use a diff wood for a binding... Hey tirapop...thanks for those links....alot of info there cheers shimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
