That's how you make them work right, threaten them with a hammer.

Box looks like it has a decent amount of space inside for speaker dynamics.

 Already tried the threats. Even threatened to throw it into the street, but that didn't work either... The amp board was unimpressed by my efforts. The box was a joy to build. Thanks for the info on the internal size. Wasn't sure. I hope it doesn't sound like ass. Should I add a bass reflex hole to it, or just open the lid when playing? I could easily make a little tab that would prop it up...

 Thank you Paul.

A closed box will offer more bass. Try it closed first, they open the lid to see what you get. Then you can decide on whether to cut a hole or not. You could cut a hole and add a shutter baffle to adjust how much air comes through.

One thing I always say about soldering: perfection can’t be accomplished without practice :D

 Well, I have used up about half a square foot each of perfboard and stripboard in practice. Someday, ...ugh...

Finished the uke. Tenor scale, low G tuning. Sounds nice and a little mello with the longer scale and low G.

A shout out to Taff for the tips on the neck, they helped make it a lot easier then when I tried it previously without knowing what I was doing.

 Kigar, I'm not that "into" Ukes, but that is gorgeous. Bet it sounds good too.
