Baritone Ukulele

Looks darned nice. How's it sound?

Very nice. I'm in the process of building a guitar right now- one question I have for you- is it that hard to install the frets? How did you go about doing it? That looks awesome!

It sounds much better than I ever expected….....

DMiller…..I made a miter box and used a Japanese pull type saw…..I first taped a metric straight edge to the fret board starting at the nut…..I marked each fret (use metric measurments) and then scored them with a square and exacto knife, and finally ran over the scoring with a piece of chalk so they were easy to see, and cut them on the miniature miter box…....the cheap $8.00 pull saw that Harbor Freight sells is the exact width for the frets…....Did a lot of research on Youtube and kind of combined all the best methods…...

Beautiful. How did you finish it?

Chris Cook…...About 20 light coats of Deft clear gloss (nitrocellulose) and then hand rubbed out using Meguirars rubbing and polishing compounds, kind of the same as car clear coat finishing…...

Wow! This ukulele is absolutely beautiful. Nice work!

That's a lot of hours. Did you start with a model or a plan?

Nicely crafted!
