Building a Ukulele In 4 Days

This project was a real opportunity to explore my new workshop, as well as use up some homeless timber and test my perfectionism. While I’m thrilled with how it turned out given the time constraint, I feel lucky that my guitars are allowed so much more time for attention to detail, structurally and mainly sonically, as well as aesthetically. Also, the fact I have access to some really great materials makes me really grateful; building with offcuts and slightly weird colour schemes really made me miss the latter.
