Thanks Mark, that means a lot. The trouble is, all the effort in making the molds, templates, jigs and solera........all the fidling about trying to make the nut, saddle and bridge from scratch.... al...

This is my first ukelele - I made it from offcuts from a a hard flooring company near me and as such, was able to make a shed load of inexpensive mistakes in the course of my learning. I invested in ...

Hello folks, Just wondering if there are any builders here living in the South West of England - specifically Cornwall or Devon? Might be useful to meet up and share ideas, experiences, tools etc? Let...

I've got this jig ....25 or 25.5 " scale length thatI had before I bought one of Bagpress's excellent fretboard cutting kits. It's yours if you want it... Pay as you feel plus postage 😉

Bloody hell Russ! That's just made my evening! I've been away from this forum and my shed for too long but this post has spurred me on beyond belief. Thank you for taking the time to post this and to...

Hello folks, Just thought I'd show you where I'm at with my first uke build - would not have got anywhere near this far had I not done Mark's acoustic online course. It's a fun journey of trial and e...

@bpower Actually Sir, I owe you an apology...... I saw a ridiculously priced Martin soprano uke today and indeed..... the fretboard didn't stop just after the 12th fret body join but continued up to ...

Thanks Mark, Now that I've cut out the sound hole I'd struggle to cut a perfectly concentric groove so I'll probably just live with it .......I don't even want a bloody ukelele anyway! 🤣

I think that because the fretboard meets the soundboard around the 12th fret that by the time the fretboard was lengthened to cover the offending article the frets would be just for decoration......mi...

Thanks Russ, I think that if I tried that I'd just dig myself further into the deep do do 🤣 I reckon I'll just live with it, learn from it and as Mr Bailey once said.....mistakes like that j...

Hello folks, I'm trying to make a little soprano ukelele from bits of wood left over from other projects Attachment : 20230724_204045.jpg and thought I'd craft a rosette from a ring of rosewood...

Well this question was a dud! Soldier my arse...... the answer is clearly 'C' Bradley! Attachment : 20210802_220739.jpg

Bring it in, Bruv........ ......Let's (socially distanced of course) hug it out 🙂

Sorry to hear that Mark...... Best wishes heading Northward from Cornwall.

Looks great, Seb - you deserve to feel proud..... it's an incredible feeling isn't it! How does it sound?

Carol probably thinks I’ve been joking when I’ve commented that the Weds-Thurs-Sat cycle has kept me sane over the past months, What happens on a Thursday that I'm missing?

Yeah.... but... Stew Mac........

Thanks for all your input folks. That's a resounding 'NO' from the forum then with the exception of Eddie6string. I'll use the money on masking tape and superglue instead then and carry on using my Sa...

Hello folks Have any of you used one of these or have any thoughts about them? I've looked at reviews and YouTube vids but haven't found anything guitar related about them. I've got an opportunity to ...
