I have started a uke build with a semi-serviced kit from rivrdrfter on ebay. The sides are bent and the spruce top and mahogany back are glued. The kit comes with all of the wood and binding. I need to provide the nut, saddle, tuners, fretwire etc.
I don't have any pics yet but some will come in the future. I have built a workboard, made a template and a form. I am just about to glue the end and neck block to the sides in the form I have built but I have a question. The plans I have are for a tenor uke and are patterned off an old Martin uke. In the plans, the uke neck is joined with a biscuit but I would like to do a bolt on neck. I want to drill the neck block for the bolt before I glue it but am not too sure where on the neck I drill. Can I get an opinion on this from some experienced builders please?
