Distractions

I started construction on a little uke for my daughter. This picture excites me. It's a bit of a vision of the future. All I've got left is all the finicky stuff... Neck block, finish shaping the neck, assembling EVERYTHING, & making it work like a guitar.

That's not the only distraction, either. Under that uke mockup is a pile of plywood chunks that still need fairing on one curve and then they can grow into a wa'apa. IE a 16' sailing outrigger. Very excited to get this done and not have to rent time under sail anymore.

That is all.

    1. I had to look up this "gibbs style" of which you speak....

      and, technically, the girl-child's uke *isn't* all... There's also the sailing canoe, including everything that goes along with that... Rigging miscellany and sailmaking. And one of these days I need to start on the full size guitar for myself.... Kinda nervous about that one... The project list is hyuuuge.

    2. seeee ... you just made me point ;)
      and, in case you didn't find the answer, I was referencing Leroy Jethro Gibbs from NCIS - he smacks people in the back of the head when they say or do something dumb http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqMUuOPsa0o ;)
