Ukulele builds
Hi,
I build ukuleles to fill in my time in retirement. Thought I would share a couple of pics of a couple of my builds with you.
Cheers
Daryl

Daryl,
Seriously nice looking ukes.
Any chance of buildalong pics. Reason I ask is I would one day like to step up from the cigar box ukes and guitars I make to some real instruments.
Regards
John

Hi John,
Yep got plenty of pics and happy to help out. There is a very good step by step build manual available from Hana Lima. http://hanalimastore.com/search?q=manual
I use the book as my reference manual.
They also supply very good quality uke kits that have all required materials except tuners.
Feel free to email me at [email protected] for assistance.
Oh...I also built a couple of cigar box ukes & guitars.
Cheers
Daryl

John, This may be of interest. A few steps missing but you will get the overall scheme of things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ft-DxdMAwE Cheers Daryl

Daryl,
Thanks for the info. The youtube clip is very helpful. I guess I need to get stuck in and make some jigs and stuff. Lots more clamps too.
Regards

Beautiful ukes. Nice to see some Aussie builders on the forum. Is it me or does the one with the flame front have its bridge on upside down?

Are you sure this bridge isn't on upside down?

Good stuff, what timber have you used?
Cliff.
If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

A lot of ukes that I see in music shops look like cheap toys for children yours look like you shrunk full sized guitars beautifully crafted lovely work you have a big future in stringed instruments as a matter of fact with this level of workmanship in any type of instrument you put your mind to build cheers and all the best George (opps didn't see that boy you must have great eyes )

Great video Daryl. The bending template appears to have CNC writing on it. Did you buy this in or make it?
