Hello all,
I hope everyone had a happy Christmas and New Year! So I got a new work bench for X-mas from my fiancée. I also got a small bandsaw from my parents. I, of course, got straight to work once everything calmed down from the holidays. I got some sides bent and got the blocks and solid lining in. I'm very happy so far. I'm using a neck that has been preshaped, I just cut the headstock design at this point. I'd rather focus on the body for the moment. I'm not tooled up to make necks yet but they will go on my to do list this year. Baby steps
Anyway here is a photo that shows a little bit of my bench and my first completed set of sides. I am using mahogany. I am now working on bracing and the top and back. This is all very exciting! What a rewarding experience. I fear I might get hooked on ukulele building.
