Hello all just joined. My wife shares a studio in Olympia WA with another artiest. This other women is in a uku band and i saw her CBU hanging up in the studio and though i can do that. It was easy except the fretting complete failure so now it is fret less. Please look at my picks in my album and tell me what you think.

I have some beginner videos on my page here that help explain fretting. You might want to take a look.

lol i actualy learned to fret by watching your vids Dan . perfect on the mark every time now .

Ambitious build for a first! Looks very nice. What problems did you have with frets?

good stuff  man  ;-)

man i started out on ukes a couple of months ago but i sort of cheated cause of the 'fretting' issue. i actually bought a cheap uke and ripped the neck and bridge off it and put them onto a cigar box. they sound great!! it only gets easier as you go!! nice work, keep it up!

Great start Josh...going look nice when completed...

Great looking build Josh! Don't let the fretting thing scare you. It's not that it's hard just have to pay attention to detail. Dan's instruction helped me a lot.
