A fret setup that worked?

Not for any particular build I have in mind...just trying to get an idea of what might have worked for someone. I keep thinking that it's complicated, but simple if the right tools or calculations…Continue

Thanks for hosting Dan - and thanks for coming out everyone!  That was a lot of fun, and it was great meeting everyone and listening to some very cool jams! We should  definitely do this more often. I have a video I'll be posting tonight, and between myself and Henry we'll see if we can pull out some cool audio tracks of the jam sessions.

Looking forward to it!

Just in case anyone has something they need drilled, cut, or sanded, I have a pretty complete set of woodworking power tools. Feel free to bring along anything that you would like to work on.

Getting stuff ready for the BBQ. We will provide hamburgers, hot dogs, brats and some potato salad stuff. Just bring what you want to drink.

Got amps too....

Anyone need boxes, neck blanks, fretboards, etc?  Swap, trade, etc.

I have some neck blanks, with scarf peg head and lots of fingerboards that could be slotted to 25", 24.5", and any ukulele scale....let me know if I need to bring any....

OK - I have a home brew one and an off the shelf one I'll toss the in car.

Jon, I have 2 amps, so it wouldn't hurt for you to bring yours.

Hope it's a success and there's more in the future. I just can't make this one.

I'd love to see some video commentary from Teddy.
