'cuz I've no intention of being "self taught" at this. That would be a HUGE mistake. I consider you folks my mentors and coaches. -Gratefully!
...you don't need to know calculus to build an ukulele.
This is just the sort of thing that I need to hear: the order of construction, i.e. where to start, on which end, etc. Bless you all!!
I fiddled with the outline some more. Broadened the top corners and rounded them. I think I like it better.
Thank you.
Question on the distance between the nut and the 14th fret, which the plan says is at the body. The plan calls for a very detailed 9.4274 in. Seriously? How do you do that? How does one measure anything close to that?
Education... So I used double stick tape to put the plexiglass template on top of the inlaid veneer that is glued onto the peghead. Set that upside down on the router table and started in. You can see the results in the photos. One friend says that's why he prefers hand tools. I'm listening. What do you all do? And are there tools at work better than others?
As always, very grateful for this forum!
