The first ukulele I built had a Spanish heel joint. The next step may have been a dovetail joint, but I haven't gotten around to that yet. Instead, the next one was a pocket joint, what I now call a reverse heel joint. The pictures are ones that I put together for my web site, but thought it would be nice to share with other luthiers because they represent unusual ways to make the joint. One thing I like about them is they all use the structure inside the body to make them more rigid than traditional joints.
