The first three weeks of April I was unemployed, which basically resulted in a great amount of spare time. I decided that I might as well spend the time on something, so I started building a ukulele from scratch. I started with some pieces of birch and a round saw.
I printed the free blueprints from http://www.grellier.fr/plans/Soprano_ukulele/Soprano_ukulele_fr.pdf and started the ”learning by doing” process. I'm pretty satisfied with the outcome so far although there are many flaws all over
I just received the fretwire, tuners, material for nut and bridge and the Hana Lima construction manual the other day. Which cost me alot because of Danish VAT and extra fees, but Hana Lima's service was super, they even sent me extra fretwire
In this album you can see the ukulele: http://picasaweb.google.dk/jacobmc/UkuleleProject#
It is all birch, because it was what I had and then I stained the fretboard and the bridge too a darker colour.
I'm really looking forward to hearing it, but even if it sounds horrible, I'll be proud (hopefully)
