Tin Uke #2

Frets fitted, position markers marked out (should have done this before i fitted the frets... makes life a lot easier but not having an organised workshop has thrown me somewhat) and tuning pegs marked out... next for some drilling.

As you can see i have resorted to the floor of the tiny spare room... but hey at least its warm.

I currently have 4 commissions on the go here are some of them in progress. Luckily the good folks that have commissioned these instruments are happy to wait a while due to the fact that i dont have a workshop at the moment. I was however measuring up this morning and getting down to the business of designing my new one.

So, not been doing much building lately. But have been playing still... and our Purly loves it... been using the ole mind control tricks on me so that i dont stop.
