We are now ready to apply the binding to the body. Binding goes around the edges of the top and bottom. It adds a decorative touch and protects the ukulele edge from damage.
The body has had the top and bottom trimmed. This shows the hand router that will cut the grove for the binding
Pat is using the router to cut the grove in the top edge. He will do the same on the bottom edge
The binding has been tacked and will be bent around the edge of the top
As he bends it, he applies glue and uses the tape strips to hold the binding to the grove while the glue dries. More tomorrow.
