Cigar Box Ukulele: The Hard Way Part 8

With the neck shaped and epoxied to the body, the fret board gets glued down. Note the jigs for keeping the fret board centered:


With the neck permanently in place, the bridge can be glue. Most builder wait until after the finish is applied to attach the bridge. In this case, the small sound holes limit the access for deep clamps, so the bridge gets attached before the back is glued in place.

This is a really nice job!

Really nice. Can't wait to hear the sound sample!

Thanks...I'm waiting for the back to dry and accept that curve shape. A few more days and I can finally close it.
