Scott Seelye Making an Evergreen Ukulele Neck
Loading...
Uploaded by thelongboardstore on Sep 23, 2009
I have been developing an ukulele which will be launched soon. Here is a video showing how I make the necks with a bunch of fixtures, finer shaping with spokeshaves, and a hand rubbed finish. I am using Western Red Cedar for the necks and body with black walnut or rock maple binding, fret board, and bridge. The song is Hey, Soul Sister by Train.

Love your approach. Who do you thin down the headstock?

LOL-Interesting that you round the neck on the end of the table saw fence rail. Nice use of jigs and sleds. Do you get much tear-out at the end of the cut when hogging the initial neck shape?
Very nice shop set-up with nice shiny tools. I wish I had that much room to move around. Also looks to be a nice boat project in the background.

I am back building ukuleles now. I have about 20 in production. For the backs and sides, I am using CVG douglas fir, old growth redwood, and curly maple. The tops will be old growth CVG western red cedar. I will work on a video of the process.

Very nice video! I hope you plan on uploading the rest of the proces, I've seen it done before but am still pacing myself top start making one myself.

@Shimert I stopped for a while to complete a Chris Craft restoration. I hope to get back on them next month. I will create some videos on how I bend the sides and such.
