@wolframmalukker. That doesn’t look too bad. If it is going to be fully covered with the fretboard anyway I would consider just leaving it.. but.. I know if it was me and I would be consistently thinking about it.. I would…   Read more»

Posted by: @wolframmalukker I was so disgusted with myself after that mess that I packed up and went home. I’ll take a photo of the damage tomorrow and see what I can do to fix/hide it. @wolframmalukker Don’t beat yourself…   Read more»

@wolframmalukker
We all have our moments, you did the right thing packing up an going home. Inmy experience, once you’ve had a sleep, you’ll wake up and know how to fix it.

@wolframmalukker Good idea to sleep on it first. We all make mistakes, part of building is hiding or fixing mistakes.Keep going !

Wow, that’s some pretty impressive work there @wolframmalukker! I love the idea of an Explorer Ukulele, it’s so cute! Especially since you are using the original headstock. 
Where are you from?

@wolframmalukker  Will try to do a little shaping this weekend, maybe. Need to cut the truss rod slot first, I guess. Thats looking good. Mark always emphasises to do the trussrod slot before shaping. That way, you have more area…   Read more»

@wolframmalukker
Very nice indeed, keep going. 👍

@wolframmalukker  That Macassar Ebony is going to nice looking fretboards. You’re so lucky having such a well equipped workshop and SolidWorks too. I used SolidWorks in a previous life and still had access to it for a while after I…   Read more»

Those are going to be nice looking fretboards @wolframmalukker!

@wolframmalukker Go go go! ( I love explorers!, At some point in the future I must build a companion for my 58 Flying V built 😉 )

@wolframmalukker Welcome to the forum! Sounds like you’re very well-equipped. Have fun with your build!

Posted by: @wolframmalukker I have hunted up a flatsawn hard maple board, 2+ inches thick, 5″ wide, and 7feet long. What I don’t use for a neck, I’ll glue up into a second body blank. Once the templates are made,…   Read more»

@wolframmalukker First of all, welcome to our online community of guitar building.  I’m looking forward to watching you build your electric ukulele, it’s something I’ve been thinking about building for quite a while.  I feel like you’ve already inspired a…   Read more»

@wolframmalukker Welcome to this wonderful community! I am curious about your ukelele build! I have all the parts laying around (and the plan ) to build one myself too..

@wolframmalukker  Welcome to the group, it sounds like you have the ideal setup for making guitars, I’m on a knife edge waiting to see what you produce.

Welcome @wolframmalukker. Looking forward to seeing how it all turns out. Good to have a metal work guy around. I’m sure you’ll have a few good tips for us all. 
🙏🎶🙂🎸
