What a trip! Did you get a look at the chisel he was using? It was wider that the neck.

Thanks for the link Nick.

That was great! He certainly seems to know how to put them together. I think I need to work on my method of gluing on the top and back. He makes that look pretty simple. :shock:

The thing that amazes me most is the fact thayt there is a Ukelele Hall of Fame!


I have to say though that for a night at concert here in the UK, it doesn't get much better than a trip to these these guys. The Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain.
