Bit of a cheat on my part this one. For health and safety reasons, I am not allowed to use machinery at guitar school. I jumped out of an aeroplane last week, at 13,000ft, with zero experience but sadly, I cannot even look sideways at a band saw with out getting the H&S crew smashing down my classroom door.

So, to take the piece of wood from where it was, to a ukulele shape, I em…. let my teacher, Mike, take it home and bandsaw it for me. Not how I wanted it to happen, but for the best at the moment. Thanks Mike…. I can move on now…
