I would avoid aluminium as it’s a far softer metal than the steel/nickel of the strings. If this is a purely electronic uke then the metal choice isn’...

@wayne_f glad you sorted the fret problem, I was looking at making a fret bender so clearly something to keep in mind. It’s looking really clean thoug...

@mattbeels this was where I was leaning before robin’s suggestion of still wood but contrasting, I can try both i suppose. I don’t want it to be too p...

@robin I have maple or mahogany, could use the mahogany which would match the neck, I’ll mock one up and see how it goes.

@boo those were just the ones I’d picked up, for the wooden one I was contemplating a miniature version of the whole headstock, can’t decide if that’d...

@rocknroller912 I can honestly say I every mistake has been down to trying to rush something when I should have just come back to it the day after. Th...

@rockneoller912 same here, all the times when things go right, that’s what happened 😬 Didn’t use power tools, just not used to hard woods and used...

@rocknroller912 Worked a treat, Mark suggested the same. If you overlook where the finish is a bit destroyed where I had to twist the pickup mount off...

There are more that I haven’t I can assure you 🙂 I’m somewhat limited by not being set up to spray but there are still quite a few options. You’re ban...

@boo next will be a 7 string, I borrowed one off someone a week or so ago and really enjoying it. There will be a lot more carving, looking into more ...
