rebuilding a cheap ukulele


Recommended Posts

So a few months ago I accidentally sat on a cheapey ukulele because I didn't see it in the dark on my chair. So the neck crack. I sawed off the neck yesterday and the dove tail broke. So today I have been making a replacement dovetail and my saw blade broke (coping saw) so I had to chisel the whole thing out, tap it with a hammer and I still have to HAND SAND IT DOWN. Just the joys of repairing instruments! I have to make so dowels and drill some holes for said dowels and then reglue the whole thing but I need to strip it first. Did I mention the whole thing is plastic? I think there is just one plastic coating around it and then actual wood. Ugh.

Pictures, young man, pictures! Please!

You've been a member long enough to be allowed to post pictures and I'm sure you have some sort of a camera - a real one or a phone/tablet.
