I made this Uke as a gift for a good friend of ours. Her husband had given me a bunch of cigar boxes when he learned I liked to make instruments. As a thank you, I made them this Ukulele. She actually knows how to play the Ukulele so I was happy to make this one to add to her collection. The neck is made from a water ski that somebody threw away. I used a door strike plate to hold the strings, and the emergency key that comes with door knobs as the bridge. Scroll down for a few pictures from the build!
The finished product Emergency key bridge Door strike plate Great distressed look Slightly disappointed that these are from New York City Sound hole on the side to leave the lid intact Bone nut Tuners Making the neck Making the neck Scarf joint Cutting the frets slots Added corner braces to the box since it was made from somewhat flimsy cardboard
