The Uke plans are pretty much the ones I followed to make my Ukulele. There are things left out but enough good info to get the job done. When I get more experience, I'm going to give a fiddle a try.

Nice ukes. I used a bolt-on neck on mine, which is a bit simpler to arrange; seems to work well. I didn't use any bracing; figured four nylon strings were not going to put that much pressure on the top. Guess I'll see.....
