I'm building a ukelele
Wyatt Started conversation Dec 29, 2006
It's true. Since Christmas I've been busy playing around with all my new possessions. My dad gave me a kit for building a ukelele, and we started on it yesterday. So far all we've done is glueing bits together and so on. My dad is an obsessive intrument maker/professional repairer (is that a word?) - he builds all sorts of funky things from scratch, which he then hardly ever plays once it is finished. I think he didn't even really looked at the intructions, I saw him glance through it for a few minutes, though. Anyway, it should be pretty cool once it is finished.
My sister gave me a set of carved wooden chess pieces she got in South Africa - unfortunatley, one of the rooks is missing. So I have replaced it with an Ewok action figure from my old collection of Star Wars toys. Looks a bit out of place, though it is pretty funny in a way.

Got any further since? I'm not musical at all myself. Good luck to you, though.

Yup, it's nearly done. We still have to varnish it, put in the tuners and string it. It should be done on Thursday.
