I remember these threads.... Because they are memorable. I remember the plate jig, and especially the screw position markers. Thanks for reposting- among my favorites as well.

Yes I remember that. Who could forget. At one point I do believe you took Mrs. Timbucks knitting needles, heated them up and poked bigger holes in the wood. Then you over braced it and after that I lost track. Interesting to hear after all this time it is a go-to-uke. It certainly was different.
