Hi Allen,

Do you radius the backs of your ukulele's & if so, what radius?

As usual you've hit the mark with the choice of woods for this build, also the way you achieve such a high degree of finish on you're instruments just gives them that extra 'wow' factor.

Pleasure to see great workmanship.

How about using a Hot clothes iron, applied over a damp cloth?
It might be enough to release the veneer, but then it might cause it to curl as well.

There should be something here that you can steal that isn't copyright: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=clas ... 57&bih=879 Thanks Martin, I'm not greedy, I'm gunna copy them all. . . :lol: never mind, it appears the gist of my post has been lost in translation too, thank you internets Nice one ...

Hi Trevor,

You gotta be happy with that, first build, very impressive.
There's something about tiger myrtle, it just looks great.

I placed an order on 18/12/2013 & am still waiting, waiting, waiting.
But there check-out process is sooooooooooooo much better.

Congratulations to the students and tutors. . . the choice of tonewood compliment the builds, well done.

Allen,
I don't care what anyone else says - that is disgusting. . . disgustingly good
It would'nt matter what combo of timber/wood you utilise, it sings.
Nice timber stand too.
Well done again. . .

Nice one guys, good to put faces to names.

Hi all, Sorry for the confusion. What truss rod are you using? The truss rod I have is from a group buy about 2-3 yrs ago, 385mm in length. WP_20130514_002[1].jpg Hi Wayne, reinforce which part of the neck? Truss rod cover is traditionally screwed in place but you could use neodymiums. Alternatively...

Hi everyone, My current build in progress is an OM cut-a-way, with the truss rod access at the nut as per the plans. A few questions please: 1/ What keeps this truss rod in place from moving up the neck (away from the sound-hole)? 2/ How do members re-inforce this part of the neck? 3/ How is the tru...
