I was the first to show up to the local guitar store to buy parts and let the guys in on the CBG. They have lots of experience out here making ukuleles so I wouldn't be surprised to see more builds come out, especialy the guys who are into the koa woods..
Aloha! Jason

Only been putzin with this 3-string for about a week and I'm havin' too much
fun to learn anything about notes, keys chords, all that foreign language stuff.
I've been a woodworker most of my life n' the other day a friend gave me
a bunch of cigar boxes. I'm DOOMED ! Ahh, but what a fate.
If I can pull myself away from tryin' to play there's gonna' be some wood-chips
flyin' over here. I gotta' have me another guitar. Well, maybe 2 more...or three.
Nice to meet ya' Jim. Take care man. Wally.

Gourd are pretty tricky to find in the U.K. not sure about the U.S. but once you find one you can grow your own...

At 10:03pm on June 28, 2010, JUJU said…: Cheers Jim , yep i hope it's going to be the last router table i buy ! - i was also considering the WoodRat it's a great bit of kit for sure - the only problem i have with getting one is having wall space to mount it - no doubt i'll get one one day though :-)
have you used yours much ? - i see you have the same router as me also - do you use any collet Extention with the router to extend the Router cutters ? - the xtreme xtension i bought is a great bit of kit but takes time to set-up as it's balanced but once set fitting and removing cutters takes a second and can be done without the use of the router spindle lock or spanners just 1/4 turn of a allen wrench is all it takes to lock or unlock the Cutter - check out the link

happy woodworking bro
