Those are all quite nice, but I'm partial to the baritone. I have thought about building a Kasha baritone, and yours gives me ideas.I usually build in sets of 4, but this time there were two extras that just demanded to get into the current set, so I did 6. 3 orders and 3 'on spec'.
From left to right:
concert - mango and Port Orford cedar, Kasha braced
concert - spalted tamarind and spruce, spiral rosette
tenor - curly black walnut and water tank redwood, spiral rosette, cardinal inlay
tenor - spalted tamarind and water tank redwood, spiral rosette
tenor - sycamore and Pennsylvania red cedar
baritone - curly black walnut and water tank redwood.

I think of the Fun Build all the time. Maybe some of the new builders will do one eh? That would be fun to watch.
I found it here. https://forum.ukuleleunderground.com/showthread.php?44910-Fun-Build-2011&highlight=ukulele and a video of the completed uke.

Thanks very much for posting those Ken, I have been trying to remember who made what and the video answered that. Unfortunately, the thread posted was about the second fun build that I was not able to complete. That was right before things started going south for me with family health issues followed by my own health problems, which led to an almost complete cessation of my building. I feel badly about that, Vic’s idea is too good to totally abandon, so I am working on an idea to finish what I started and then as Vic has suggested maybe turning it over to some of the younger guys to carry on. I will be announcing the 10th Anniversary Solo Fun Build on Uke Talk shortly.
