I was thinking of the five most used things/tools I reach for when I build an ukulele. Below are my five candidates:
First a cheap pencil. Very important. I buy my cheap plastic pencils by the dozen.
Second, the checp 6 inch steel ruler. Even though I'm Imperial, I use millimeters most. Half a millimeter? Good to go. Also my go-to glue squeeze out scraper. Also works as a coffee stirrer in a scrape.
Glue. I don't need much of this stuff, but I use it a lot.
Masking tape. Clamping and masking. Other than shellac, tape is my best friend.
Digital calipers. Must have. I use inches and not metric or fractions. When you gotta get it right...
