Here we have another booboo in a recent line of booboos that want to drag me down but I refuse. I can't afford not to sell it so don't shoot me if it goes cheap. I finished the binding channel and came upstairs to put the end graft in. I went back down to the shop to clean up the channel around the end graft and as soon as I made the first pass I knew it was working on too much wood... I shut the router ( harbor freight orange job ) off and looked and saw the bit had dropped down about a quarter inch, probably after I had finished the binding channel before and turned it on and off a couple of times because I thought it sounded a bit chatty. I should count myself lucky, it could have been my hand/fingers instead of the uke.
So there it is, I patched it but I didn't have any of the original wood from this uke and you see the patch when the light hits it right. The repair is solid.
The other photos are from my nifty new go bars... oak sticks from a discarded towel rack and slices of pvc pipe, also found. The go bar deck was saved from a dumpster. Total cost probably about a buck for the screws. They work awsome, very solid. The last photo is a pizza I made the other night. It's much better than Papa John's pizza...
