I am getting ready to embark on my first attempt at instrument making. I have wanted to build a Uke for a while, just because I would like to have one around for trips to the beach and to have in the shop with I need a Little break...
I have done some research picked up some plans and a few tools should be here mid week... fingers crossed.
Going to attempt the build out of QS Cherry and Purple heart, maybe not the first choice as far as easy for a first try, but I have it laying around so why not.
Any advise you may have would not fall on deaf ears. I hope to turn this into a build thread so updates as well as questions will most likely follow.
first question. lets start at the end. Recommend a good finish, easy to apply finish. economy would be nice. I have a HF sprayer so that is an option. I was thinking of potentially trying a water based finish, I have used Minwax WB ploy, not my favorite but not a terrible finish. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
