Hi everyone, I have a question about required and recommended tools for building a ukulele from a kit. Specifically, I am going to be building the tenor kit from stewmac in the near future and want to start gathering the required tools.
What do you recommend I have to get the job done(and keep costs low)?
Off the top of my head, I am planning on getting:
-tons of clamps!
-router
-sanding blocks
-xacto knife
-random orbit sander
-fret hammer
-fret cutters
What else can you think of that I will need? I know I could go crazy and get all kinds of cool tools and gadgets that will make this build easier, but I am also trying to keep costs down for now. After this one, if I think I will build more ukes I may go out and buy some more equipment, but for now, just building a kit, what am I missing to build this uke???
THANKS for any recommendations you guys can give me! I am currently reading a lot of articles and watching videos on the internet but it is always nice to actually communicate with people who actually do this rather than reading articles ya know?
