Well I got tired of having to dig thru/shuffle my uke cases around to find the uke I wanted to play (I know...life could be worse...) My user-friendly/customitis syndrome (syndrome in which I must customize everything I own to make it better) got the best of me and I decided....what the heck..might as well modify a case that I already have for books to hold my ukes instead.......and hopefully humidify correctly!! Here it goes:
3 trips to Home Depot (wood etc etc etc)
1 trip to fabric store (black velvet)
1 trip to guitar center (not sure why..ha...they know nothing about ukes)
13 hours and $186.00 later.....almost finished!
Items purchased:
Oak plywood for back wall
Poplar wood to wrap carpet and then velvet for uke bottom rest
5 rubber hooks
Weather proofing to make seal
Clear caulking for seal of cabinet in other areas
1 oak post (vertical) to seal doors to
1 oak post (horizontal) to attach rubber hooks to
Lots o' wood screws and wood glue
Pull tight latch system to help seal doors shut
Still need:
Western Caliber III hygrometer (abt. $20)
Some sort of humidifying device (probably something used in a cigar humidor about the size of this cabinet I used)
Next task is to figure out this whole humidifying/hygrometer thing....
