As a uke player I found this process amazing. I never knew so much work goes into creating our delightful little instruments. Beautiful choice of woods.
Can I ask u a question did u learn just uke and not guitar? Cuz justa suggestion as a quitar player, I learned to play guitar. But I can fairly easily play a uke too. So might be worth to learn guitar as well
@@nikitadubrovskyi4050 What for is to buy a guitar, when all that some people play is pop songs of bands, and all that. Ukulele is more than enough for that purpose.
As an aspiring luthier with a couple instruments under his belt, I gotta say I learned a whole lot from this video. I hope someday to achieve this level of craftsmanship.
I never understood why wasting time on cutting things in shapes and polishing them by hand is celebrated and aspired so much! sure you brought a beautiful idea to life but when it comes to luthiership, it's just doing most of it again and again. Why not spend time on crafting things that can automate the the process and then just focus on improvisation
@@mdchy3098 I get what your opinion comes from, but we probably live in 2 very different worlds (I'm not talking about geography, or politics, I'm just saying that profitability has no place in my life). It's a bit like your mom's meal versus fast food restaurants ... Furthermore, I use my brain all day at work, so it's nice to get back home and use my hands from time to time :)
@@tchiksguitars If you enjoy doing it by all means do it, I apologise if I came out sounding personal there. The meal analogy doesn’t work here in my opinion, I'm not saying they're the same. Look at it this way. Considering time is precious thing of all, I do not think anyone spending obnoxious amount of time in mundane, unnecessary, manual parts of cooking is something that deserves glorification.
Well again. Precious is subjective term. If by precious you mean time is money (or something similar involving a material dimension), then from my perspective (I insist, my perspective, not talking in anyone's name here), it's only precious if you spend time doing what you like. I happen to like woodworking with hand tools, like other people like fishing (hands), playing music (hands), drawing (hands), bushcrafting (hands), knitting (hands). You can also chose to watch people fishing, bushcrafting, knitting, and drawing on television too, but it feels a little less relaxing and/or challenging, wouldn't you agree ?
Well, I am no sort of woodworker, but I am a ukulele player. I watched this video, mesmerized, from beginning to end. Unbelievable skills and knowhow. A gorgeous ukulele with a great tone. Very nice playing. And both filming and editing are awesome! Many thanks for this great video.
@@tchiksguitars Well, I have to disagree about your not being being a player! But even if you weren't, we uke players proselytize all the time. It's a great kind of instrument, and that one you made is a beautiful specimen!
@@tchiksguitars you say that you don't play ukelele BUT YOU CAN PLAY FINGERSTILE?! I play ukelele for more than one year and i can't do that, you are such a good player :D
I’ve been playing uke for about 2 years and..... I saw him put 3 strings and thought “there’s supposed to be 6!” I’m learning the guitar rn and getting confused lol
There were times when I actually held my breath - "he's going to CHISEL away the edge of the face???" As others have said, it's nice to appreciate everything that you cannot see inside the sound hole. Hope your sister had a happy birthday.
Haha I was skeptical too the first time I did that but I couldn't figure out a better way to do it, and if you understand the grain direction it's not that risky :)
Blessings for taking precious time to create this beautiful instrument for your sister...such a beautiful thought. Sharing your process (so much hand work!!!!) was really wonderful...I hope she enjoys it as much as you did the process!!! Thank you for an inspirational video
Love the use of masking tape to see the lines better and to line things up rather than relying on hard to see pencil! Will use that technique from now on! Thanks!
Apparently, this is a very good sister, since she is being given such a gift! Apparently, this is a very good brother when he makes such a gift to his sister! Happiness to your family !!!
I think the amount of work that went into the video production wasn't far off the amount of work that went into making the ukulele. Both are outstanding! Thanks for uploading for our education and entertainment.
I’m just learning how to play ukulele and have absolutely no knowledge of anything related to woodworking, but I watched this video the whole way through and loved every moment of it. Your work is absolutely beautiful!

Haha thank you ! I never played any high end ukulele so I didn't really know what to expect here, esthetically and sound wise, but as far as my ears are concerned, I'm now very happy about the sound this makes :) wish I could find an actual ukulele player to better showcase this but ..meh.
I've built a few but stewmac kits with pre-bent sises. Usually do it for newborns in the family, sold a few too. Yours are much better in the kerfing. I love your mould also. Very professional.
Wow! Wow! Wow! If only I had a brother like YOU!!! As a Uke fan I was captivated and could not stop watching! Who knew it takes so much to make a great uke! You've got skills man! Thx! ❤
Truly brilliant, your skill and attention to detail is a credit to you. The only down side for me was the 11 adverts I had to watch during a 23 minute video! Thanks for sharing this.
So impressed. I love this kind of work, I love all the different tools you use, it's a remarcable patience also. Amazing work dude, you are so talented
Wow man, you are awesome. I can't get over how fascinating the whole process is, this is only the 2nd vid I've seen of yours, but I'm hooked now. Subbed and probably going to binge your channel tonight.
I hope one day I could learn under someone like you. My dad "woodworks" but he has the precision of a blind sniper. Your finesse is what I hope to be able to shadow one day.
Finesse comes with patience and repetition, I don't think there anything innate involved, just patience and will :) I actually learned patience with woodworking, otherwise I'm a pretty impatient guy ! Just work your way through and you'll get there, I promise.
Watching this video made me realize there is no way I could do this as a present for someone. My woodworking skills are nowhere near this. Not even close.
“Wow, a lot of hand tools! And the other tools don’t seem too intimidating. I might even consider trying this myself. This is so inspi- aw, hang on, laser...” Just kidding, I really do appreciate the craftsmanship. The fact that each and every part that was shaped was touched by a hand tool shows the care and personal attention that this ukulele has been shown. Well done.
People who sincerely depreciate the video, the work, the final product, a detail may have bugged them, jealous people maybe, or people who think they could or actually could have done a better job, trolls, I don't really care :p all I can see is the sea of people who watched it and liked it :)
It turned out excellent!! I was thinking of making one for my wife as a family "heirloom", but maybe I will just buy one. I am not sure how mine would turn out. Hahaha Take care.
Well as you can see it's not that complicated to make something that vaguely sounds like a ukulele, and you end up with something completely custom for your wife ! Now, if you live in Spain, you should check Madinter website, they sell wood that's already cut to thickness for the top and back + sides. It makes things a lot easier. You can also buy pre-made kerfed linings from them, in stead of building them like I did. And buy a pre-made bridge also. Don't give up, I think your idea is brilliant :)
Great job! I want to build one too. Got a book by Bill Plant called "Make your Own Ukulele" which is great by the way. I'm going to start on a Sewart Macdonald kit, as I don't have much in the way of power tools, except some hand tools from fooling with fiddles. I liked your bending iron set up. Mine is aluminum with a soldering iron. My friend just uses a pipe with a propane torch. It all works, and gets the job done! Thanks!

If you did an ukelele, you would do a venezuelan tipical instrument the El Cuatro.

I want to learn how to build a guitar, but nones teach how

you're definitely the master of the planer. :D huge respect for your skills in using hand tools instead of machines, for many of the jobs.
Thank you ! I love using the planes because it's a very progressive work, I think it's sometimes more reliable than machines :)
I wish my brothers would build a uke for me, Instead they just steal my food lol
I do both, he has no excuse :)
Just told that to her, she added : "my food, and my guitar strap"

100% hand made. Just wonderful.
98%
@@janszikora8284 close enough in my book.
I was going to say 95 :p
building my own ukulele was my absolute dream, or At least someone builds it just for me,.
this is so cool, dude I wish you're my brother.
I wish I was my brother so I wouldn't even have to bother making them ahaha
If I could ever do this, I'd probably make a baritone ukulele and put standard ukulele strings on it.
Good news! Some people do play bari with standard GCEA tuning so just go change it lol

When you are familliar to the names of wood because of Minecraft

I have two sisters, so I hope I could do stuff like this for them one day :3
Make a 12 strings guitar and make them share it :p
