If you want to make a ukulele to display on your wall or use as a planter, it's very, very easy. If you want to make one that will play, it's more of a challenge.
The challenging part is getting the angles and measurements right. If the neck is off by just a little bit, it won't look right, and it won't play right. I recently sawed the neck off a license plate uke I made because I wasn't satisfied with the way it looked and sounded.
Now that it's off, I'm struggling to find the center of everything, get all surfaces flat, and mount the neck in the right position.
We have so many member here who make instruments that look and sound beautiful. They deserve a lot of credit.
