    Default You can't build a decent ukulele with nothing but a pocket knife

    Nice one Titch
    That goes to show how basic a musical instrument can be. It would be a great exercise for anyone thinking of making an instrument for the first time. Learn the basics at a very small cost. Even break out and use a hand saw and drill of need be.
    Regards

    No it's true, you can't make a ukulele with a pocket knife.
    The thing is that this is set to become a competition. Who's up next. I'll bet you can't make a ukulele with...a brick, a screwdriver, and a bottle of schnapps.

    Everything is a ukulele if you are brave enough.
    You have got me thinking there, a diddly bow is easy with that lot but a uke may be a bit harder.
