And yet another cigar box uke.
Hi,
I know ukes are starting to be 10 a penny on here but I know you all like the pictures. This one is for one of my fellow uke group members. Usual CBG construction and piezo pickup. Just one more on the order list to do then I can try something a bit different.
Regards
John

Good one, what is the 'something different' going to be?

Been thinking on a couple of future projects. I,ve got hankerings for a banjo uke. Still mulling over ideas for the drum head. Resonators are another thing i have been having a think about. Also feeling I may be near ready to start on a real uke build one day. Waiting to see how Graeme goes with his cartridge heater bending thingie.
Plenty ideas but a loose time frame.
Regards
John

I've played both a Banjo Uke & a Resonator Uke & they only suit a few songs, I'm not sold on them.
I like my Baritone Uke & I want to have a go at making a couple of real ukes one day.Cliff.

nope....our friends in China..HK? (via ebay) about 12 bucks. Just the CH sleeve....140mm long, 220v, 550w, 16mm dia, 2 wires out the end. I used a steel pipe about 40-50mm dia and 175mm long. Packed it (around the CH) with al foil. Jammed it in with a stick...transfers the heat much better (I was told)....and it sure does. Welded some angle onto the end. Attached an earth wire and joined it to an old plug with some cord (from an old jug) using connectors. Very easy to do. Have to make sure that the earth is really good and I was also told to use a power safety cutoff thingy. It`s in my cartridge heater thread somewhere. All I want to do now is join in a rheostat...maybe from a fan...and that will provide variable heat. I`ll do that when I get home from NZ. cheers, Graeme
