The neck is attached to the body with a dowel. We will drill a hole in the body and then in the neck insert the dowel and glue the neck to the body.
The position of the hole in the neck and body must be extremely precise. You can't see it in this picture but there is a small bubble level in the back top of the drill. This helps Pat align the drill so the hole will be straight.
Here he is drilling the body. See the piece of tape around the drill bit. That shows Pat how deep to drill. The top of the neck and the top of the body must be perfectly aligned when the neck is slid on to the dowel that will be inserted in the body. No ukulele work for a couple of days now. Darn.
