man thats cool  8) 8)

if this is your next to last
then i say on your lst you need to do a detailed build along
that way someone else can pick up and keep the tradition going
i would love on of them,cant play a lick
but i think an ASHTON 989 box would be sweeet (my fav stogie  ;) )

Thanks guys, Sailordad, I will do a build along if anyone wants to see it. The next one I think I will buy the neck and do the rest. Whew! scratch building a neck is hard for me. But I can show folks how to scratch build one with just basic tools. Dismount

I'd love to see a build-a-long!  Good job on that one.  Would you be interested in a trade?  PM me if interested.

Thanks Jeff, I'm not sure whats going to happen to this one. My daughter may have "quacked" it. ( a term I guess younger folks came up with to claim a parents items they want when the parents cash out)   ;D ;D  The build along one will probably go.  Dis

dismount, i'm glad you are having so much fun at this and making some nice ukes, too.  My best advice is KEEP IT A HOBBY......lots more fun that way than making it a business, that rule applies to lots of things besides ukes. 

Good work, i'll bet they play great.    piper

Hey did that one attend OJAM this year?  If so, I can say it both looks and sounds good.

Full quiver, The one you heard at ojam went to a guy to give his son for Birthday. Thanks, for saying it sounds good, I like 'em but I'm a little biased!!! Look me up at Ojam this next time, so I can put a face with the name.  Piper, good advice and I will heed it. Phil
