We certainly packed a lot in during this two week course. Yet, you'd never know it was our last day if you saw us working today. Cleaning up the fingerboard, installing the tuners, drilling the final two holes on the bridge, adding the saddle, putting strings on the uke, checking the action, and listening for any buzzing. There was a lot to do before we could honestly just sit back savouring our handiwork.
Here are the tuners waiting to jump into the headstock:
Check!
Fingerboard is smoothed and oiled again and then it's time to finish the bridge:
As we start to string up we need to make a few minor adjustments to the saddle and then sand down the nut to lower our action.
Finally the ukes are tuned, no buzzing - yay! And it's graduation time!
