Build-along, my first acoustic build!

Some hopefully useful links from my build so far:

Well kind of, as some of you may know I built an electric uke earlier this year. Slippery slope from there...
Anyway, first off I want to thank all of you who hang out here in the lounge and share your knowledge. This is a truly wonderful place, this forum and the rest of forums as well.
I hope this could be a fun read for you lot, if only to see where I mess up .
Right now I'm in the planning stages, as is evident from my questions popping up here and there. I hope you'll bear with me, remember you gotta start somewhere! Without your help and knowledge, I'd be lost .
Status so far is that I'm working on some simple jigs, building a router base for my dremel (which I probably wont need for the bindings as I've acquired a router). Will be good for inlay and rosette and sound hole cutting though, so I still need to finish it!
I'm also working on a simple mold, in the style of the suggested mold to build had one purchased a Stew-Mac kit. There's some other jigs etc to build, but it's nice because it allows me to keep momentum up while waiting the 2-3 weeks for my wood and supplies to arrive from the states!
