Sounds good enough. Thanks again for your work, Charlie.

We should all be experts !

I partially plugged the holes with toothpick slivers, replaced the ugly little screws and handed it to my student. She’s off and running. Er, off and strumming.

I'll try the toothpicks. The top is pretty soft, splintery plywood. The screws have torn most of the way out, and I had sort of shrugged them off. I may have time to get the holes plugged and the screws re-installed. If I had smaller fingers, or if the correct tools were accessible, I'd try a tiny n...

A student brought me a super low-end uke. Bridge placement seems fine, and the action is reasonable, but the bridge has lifted. It may not have even been glued down, only held with screws.

This is costing me several dozen keystrokes a week, so you can imagine the crisis! Seriously, thanks for ...

Jo,
I always enjoy logging in and seeing another on of your builds. Thank you!

Another nice job! What woods did you use for the staves?

Keep it up! I enjoy coming back and seeing a new crop of your pictures every couple days.

Could you talk about the woods you’re using? Thanks!
