I've been meaning to have a go at making a ukulele for a while now, and have finally got started with it.
I doubt that it will be *playable* but should be fun to make and hopefully look cool as decor.
My first try is in clear acrylic - going to be a challenge to do the neck, which I may layer, but all a learning curve. What I'd like to do is a variety of them in different shapes and mixed colours to give as gifts to friends ... whether it turns out to be wayyyyy beyond my abilities and too time consuming to do is to be seen lol.
Front and back are now cut and I'll post the pics of those as soon as I get them from my phone camera - I need to smooth the edges of these before I cut the sides.
My acrylic is 2mm thick which may not be flexible enough for a decent sound, but I'm currently sourcing some 1mm and 1.5mm.
The front and back both still have protective backing on them at the moment.
