Ukulele Building, cont

Now that we know the position of the fretboard on the neck we can rough trim the neck. Pat will do that on the bandsaw



You have to be very careful here. A false move and you will cut a finger and ruin the neck all in one operation.
Here is a side view of the rough cut neck. Next the neck will be shaped with sanders, rasps, knives and lots of sandpaper. Stay tuned.
