Great sounding uke Chris! And I would love to have the chords to the song, super job!

Joe

Man those must be some tall socks if they're interfering with your thong!

Joe

Dam Kim, what a great job, I'm blown away!
And the "force" is cooperating with you nicely as evident by your new set of chisels.

Way to go,
Joe

So as we guys always thought----

In sex we find the answers to all things!


Joe

No, it says the tailpiece and bridge cover are copper.
I want to see the guts, the resonator/bridge coupling. C'mon you're hiding the magic.

Joe

Oh man, my thoughts and prayers are with you guys!

Joe

Now that is just so cool!

Actually at about 7:45 you can see that the guy catching the wood is wearing ear plugs.

Now when are the big box stores going to start carrying those?


Joe

Dam sorry that had to happen to you Matthew!
I fell for that one also, just wasn't "man" enough to post up.

I should have had the courage to warn my friends!
I'm ashamed!

Joe

Gorgeous combination there John!
Yeah, we need more pics!

Just started a Stella type long scale 12, but I believe the L1 from your plans is next in the rotation.

Thanks,
Joe

Great looking restoration Jim!
I love old guitars like that, they just have something.

Joe

Wow Allen, you've really ventured into some interesting territory here! Must have been a great bike ride for all that percolation!

That backlit shot of the thinned top is great, can't wait to hear how this works out.

Thanks,
Joe

That is some very nice improvements there Craig!
Especially the quick and easy set up, it always does take some fiddling around to get everything lined up otherwise. Still one of the most joyful times in the shop, kerfing day, laughing as the rube goldberg contraption works it's magic!

Joe

love this mando Luke!
Great going,
Joe

That pretty much sums it up!

This is the final re-constructed message of this topic posted by the ANZLF help team.

I'll have to give the glass scraper a try Matthew.

And sounds like your sure getting some good use out of that lathe Puff. Mine just sits over in the corner gathering dust, have to change that.

Thanks,
Joe

Yep that's got fun written all over it!
And I love the rope purfling on the side instead of the top. Very nice touch!

Joe

Thanks for showing this Nick, looks like a good working jig!

Of course,
Joe

Now that was fine!
Player and guitar.

Joe

Thanks Dom!
That is a well done tute, picked up some tips to improve my routine.

Joe

Hurrah!
Very glad to see you up and running again!

Our thanks to you Bob!

Joe

That is great!!! I want to go to australia too! And to add to the stupid questions, what's up with all the uke threads? Don't get me wrong, I like, play and have even built one with more planned. But I never knew this was uke territory until I started reading this forum. My uke ignorance had them al...

Thanks Lillian for that link to Craigs tool making. That is some fine work Craig!
Must be a pretty magical shop!

Joe

Slick and simple Allen, even I can afford that jig!
We'll, maybe not the custom inlay you're planning for it.

Joe

Boy Craig, I'm impressed!!!
That's really getting to know your wood, sure turned out nice!
What are you using for the blade in your saw? I don't have a large enough bandsaw for re-sawing backs either, may have to give this a go.

Joe

That's pretty incredible Nick!
Very much the opposite of cat on a hot tin roof.
