PRSpoggers Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougrun Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 as i've learned recently, sometimes its what you learn from the process that outweighs the cost of the repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
