tv101 was asking the same thing a few days ago [ here ]. The consensus was 10 mm thickness

More work on this today. (And the Uke!) I sanded the first 6 coats of clear coat on the Ukulele with some 800 grit, making sure NOT to cut through, and after a wash and tack-cloth, I shot another coat...

The mildew is mostly contained and nothing touched it that didn't also cause issues. I ran the boards through the thickness sander and was able to get 99% of it off, and am looking at options with my ...

Firstly - nice piece of timber there to use for the top. How is the clean-up going? Don't think I've ever had the mildew experience, so I've got no suggestions at all on how to deal with it. Re the ...

Copied the body outline and cut it out, layed it over the body blank to see what it could be. I found the bridge and fretwire I want to use at a good price, and they say it shipped out today, so we'll...

Did a little sketching, the only things that are actually measured are scale length, maximum string spacing possible, and the neck-to-body joint location. Everything else is negotiable at this point, ...

I think I have a plan now. 27.5" scale length, bone nut (because I have half a dozen bone blanks) sapele body, sapele neck (once I find a piece the right size and shape) redwood top, and...gold hardwa...

Tomorrow I have to go in to school and do some cleaning up. I'll take photos of the two one-piece blanks I have, and the top that I want to use. More worryingly, I realize that there is some blue-colo...

That looks beautiful, makes me wanna look to use it for a neck sometime too now. Thanks for the inspiration/tip 🙂

I think black limba looks gorgeous on it's own but if wanting to use the top I'd pick something a bit plainer. Maple and sapele laminates on the neck could be nice, weight wise I don't think it'll be ...

There's a few aspects to consider - appearance, tone, balance (and probably more). With maple, ebony and the flamed redwood top, you've already got some very different looking timbers. I'd probably t...

Picked up some wood over christmas, but I don't want to cut this one down this time. I've got three tenor uke sized bodies and necks already. (The little jazzmaster-shaped uke only needs me to get the...

Oh my... that is fantastic and a absolutly fantastic idea. Now I'm even more jealous I'm not closer. 🙂

All sounding good @markbailey.... exciting! Keep the pictures coming @jamesbisset. 🎸🙏🎶🙂

Go Jimmy B Go !!!

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment...... yet another sad day. 🪦 🎶🎸🙂🙏

🤣 We had a similar-sounding experience when we moved here. Still, 6 years later, and we're getting through the job list ... Don't be a stranger @Boo

Sounds like you've got your hands full there @boo. Seems a shame to rip out the mantelpiece but it will make some nice guitars. Drop by here when you have a moment. 🎶🙂🎸🙏...
