Brilliant. I have never seen a uke build demonstrate so many unorthodox, yet effective, techniques. Then to play the instrument with significant skill. Bravo!
I am just starting to work on my first uke. Never made anything like this before. I like your idea to attach the neck first and then build the body around that piece. Less chance of screwing it up than cutting into the completed body.
I like your approach here- I especially like the use of the stair rail (after all, quartersawn wood is quartersawn wood!). I'm building hurdy gurdie's- I think I'm going to use some of your methods soon. My only suggestion would be to invest in a glue brush- I use an acid brush, trimmed down a bit. It gives you a lot more control of your glue layer, and cuts way down on squeeze out and clean up.
great job love the channel where ear phones in the work shop gives you a little ear protection and we don't get that annoying noise when you speed it up xx
Excellent. I'll have to find the long version. I did build one but want to do it again in a tenor sized or even a guitar. It sounded to me like your tuning is what is called low-G. If you see this comment, given its been 5 years, could you please affirm?
I was curious about this instrument y she surprised me with a soprano size (I didn’t even know that it comes in different sizes y names)…I got a not average size 🖐 so…she had it returned for a concert size…a solid koa wood Martin was so cool…I thought I should have the next size…y my daughter bought me a solid mahogany tenor size…y I bought another one…y I didn’t know you cabby a kit…to assemble(:

Incredible talent! I am not only in awe your skill in raw workmanship, but also your ability to make great music. Thank you for sharing this video.
Creative use of the tools available. Some methods a little unorthodox but they work. Nice job!
Dude, you just blew my mind with this! Incredible, masterfully skilled & brilliant!
Very impressive ,lovely instrument and nicely played
Multitalented to say the least; beautify built and played.
What would you call this?
Ukelaika
Or
Balalele?
Amazing project as always Keith well done

Haha, nice! Stairway To Heaven! Love the uke as well!

It sounds more like a guitar than a uke, perhaps that's an effect of the larger size ?
Yeah it’s a baritone ukulele so it’s same tuning as a guitar 👍
great build very helpful. cheers mate.

That's a really clever resawing strategy!
Cool stuff
Loved the speeded up bits. I wish my hands would work that fast.
The tone coming out of it is impressive. I expected more of a "harp" brilliance outout.
Did a good job of that UK Keith, dunt sound to bad neither I play the UK myself great instrument !!!>
Wow. Thats a loot of work. Nice 👍👍👍
That is fantastic.
How can I get started building my first Yuk just like yours
nice work mate
Great build.
Very cool. Thank you!
love it but why the dovetail?
What song is that at the end?
Stairway To Heaven
Great work !
Amazing. What are the chords that you played at the end of the video and which song is it. I love the Ukulele you made.
Stairway To Heaven
This is just more proof that there are many ways to build a guitar or Ukulele. Great job 5 years too late!
Very, very well done!
ahem english balalaika or russian ukulele, as a person who owns a balalaika, it looks similar, but holy damn that made good
Very nice indeed.
Are there any plans for this build? I was thinking of making this for my high school woods 2 project
+Ben Ben check my website
GOSTEI DEMAIS PERFEITO BEM FEITINHO A TONALIDADE PERFEITA VOU TENTAR FAZER UM DESSE TAMBEM MUITO OBRIGADO ATE MAIS BRASIL
Have you ever made an acoustic guitar?
Not yet...
Very Cool
Thank you.
It's look like a balalaika
lol. I was gonna say that too.
Balaleile ? 👍🏼
sir please give me the measurement of your homemade ukulele. the exact dimension. thanks☺️
Plans available via Patreon
Is it a baritone uke?
+Thunderstrucker it's somewhere between a tenor and a baritone
What music in the end of video?
Stairway To Heaven

Balalaika kinda shape
The forbidden riff
10/10
The dove-tail is a redundant process in this build
Looks like a balalaika
Ukulaika? Balalele?
Please sir ....i need a ukelele .... . .. .. please sir . Send this ..Ukulele .. .. please sir .. 😞😞
That dove tail makes no sense at all, but the uke is a nice project
Great video! I guess you need to remove that "QUICK VERSION" thing in the title... That will certainly get your well-deserved clicks.
Thank you! Why? Not sure I understand
I dunno... It is just more pleasing to see, hehe.
It's bakulele
