After nearly 7 years of no real content on YouTube I have decided to add content again.
Unlike before where I had 134 videos showing the various stages of construction, completed works demos and such like this new channel focuses on the techniques I use to build ukulele - hence the title The Ukulele Maker. I am not going to make a How To Build A Ukulele series or even demo completed works. This introductory video is my 'mission statement' so if you agree with it and want to access my content please like and subscribe.
Now you will know that the reason I took down my last channel was :
Trolling
Contentious arguing about my right to pose as a self proclaimed 'expert'
The grind of editing
Complaints that the videos 'weren't in order'
I don't want to get into flame wars with anybody and I am not indulging in shameless self promotion here. I think I still have a few tricks up my sleeve and something to offer the building community. Please support my efforts to get as much information into 'open source' platforms before Parkinson's Disease robs me of the ability to do so - for the first time yesterday I found gripping a pencil to free-hand draw an unusual challenge.
As of writing I have 16 likes and 1 dislike. I wish people would support their dislike fetish with the decency of a comment so I can better understand why they do this. If I dislike I always post why. I know that this is the territory that attends YouTube and I will try my best to thicken up my skin and ignore it.
I hope and trust that this is seen as a genuine request and response to those who want to have better access to what I do. I am not promoting my work either here or through this channel and will not be posting links to the videos here to engage you with the channel. This is the one and only time you will hear from me about this new venture.
Lastly, if you have requests for topics for me to cover please get in touch.
