hey all, so i was reading a thread a little while back with some talk about ukulele kits and saw that somebody had posted a link to the grizzly.com site that sells $25 uke building kits. sounded like project time for me.
since the price was right(right meaning cheap as), i bought two kits with thoughts of spraypainting them pretty colors and adding much glitter, strawberry scent, and rhinestones. but in the end decided to hack them up with a saw. my brother helped me out with the first few steps because he won't let me touch his bandsaw and belt sander.
UPDATE: made a video. if you want to see 2 cheap ukes played at once, here you go: http://www.ukuleleunderground.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5691
here are pictures from my project which i call 2kulele, frankenlele, or bastardlele. still can't decide on a name. perhaps you folks can come up with something better.
this is what comes in the kits:
chop chop with the bandsaw:
clamp and glue the necks:
