Thank you, Jim. I knew when I first got the box...  someday it would be a uke!

Thank you Jim! Yes, they do make the bottoms look finished on these too and nice gold lettering. Thanks!

That's excellent Derek! I'm with Unc on the Brickhouse box use but I've done the same on other boxes when the bottom seemed to be more resonant. Even the bottom looks nice on these boxes so it works out pretty good. I also agree.... more stuff like this is welcome here!

Thank you, Robert. I appreciate the feedback. Otto follows me around everywhere and I should have known he was up to something!

Uncle John, Ha! I was TORN between using the top and bottom but couldn't figure out a clean way to do a bolt on neck with the lip on the sides of the lid. Both are thin wood at least so either should work. I do like the Fluke / Flea heads so kind of applied that design here. Thanks for the kind comments, as always! :)

You used the BOTTOM of a Brickhouse!   Is that even legal? 

  Oh!   Super nice singing and playing.   GOOD song!  More from you would be welcome.

I have a Brickhouse in the shop that I screwed up on - messed up the top cutting for a mag pup.  Maybe I can use the bottom. 

I llke those open tuners too.  

Very nice.  You remind me of one or more of the good players I play with.  Nice, but shows me what a HACK I am.  :)

Wonderful song!
And an absolutely classic cat photo bomb.

Brilliant!
