Somehow I find it very refreshing to watch a ukulele being made from scratch.

I like how you made it without trying to make it look like another generic ukulele. Awesome job!

Great build. To be honest, i prefer the sound of the one you built to the sound of the store-bought factory made one. Great video.

Thank you!

It came out awesome! Using nails as frets was awesome I thought they wouldn't be strong but if you managed to you use the file on them I guess they are pretty strong! To increase it's loudness I would suggest thinner top (made of pine, cedar or spruce) with supportive braces just like a guitar. Plywood does not vibrate nicely and as a result it is quiet! Overall I really enjoyed the video! Greeeeeeat work! I love DIY instruments!

You can just as easily make a uke with basic (and inexpensive) hand tools, especially if you're not bending the sides. All you really need is a hand saw (or if you wanna make your job easier, a hand saw and a coping saw), sandpaper, and clamps for gluing (which can be improvised in a pinch). The process would be mostly identical to the one in the video, just a little slower.

Makify1 The ukulele is still in making how TALL and THICK are the bedsides in CENTIMETERS or MILIMETERS? Thanks!!

that effect when we find out that the background music is actually played by you on the instrument was very well done! I had an inkling, and was really happy that indeed you did what i thought would be a cool thing to do!

What a wonderful labour of love. Good looking little uke with added meaning due to the love poured into it. Smart that it's a quieter uke than usual as well. Kiddie's going to be 'practicing' a lot! Very special gift.

Nicely done, brethren!!! I hope your nephew had a blast with it!

What a great gift, and he'll always appreciate the time and love you put into it. Awesome!

Loved the bonus track. I have a 4 yr old grandson who might be getting one of these for his birthday this summer. Thanks!

That was a work of love. Best uncle ever and neat little uke too!

Perfect demonstration video. Very complete. Good explanations about why you did things the way you did! This is a very good video for beginner builders of stringed instruments. Thank you very much.

Nice tone and sustain, great job!

Nice job. Very doable with a few tools and patience. Anything worth making and keeping takes work and overcoming unexpected mistakes or problems. Anything fast and easy is disposable. Thanks for sharing.

I actually applauded at the end when I saw you playing the instrument. Well done!

thanks for the class... I learned several tricks to use in my project. Congrats!

This is so cool! I wish i knew someone with a woodshop!

Trabalho incrível! Parabéns!

Thank you very well explained. I’m new to instrument making and love it.

excelente, amei o projeto. Vou fazer um.

Dear friend, Thanks for a very excellent video on making your wee Judd a Ukulele. Very professional audio and video. Also the friendly tone and smiles. I shall indeed try this. Blessings, pierre from New Mexico

we really appreciate this video tony . thanks so much!

I laughed so hard at 3.46 where you were working on cutting out the slot for the nut, I almost fell over backwards in my office chair. Very funny. And the nail frets, well, that was fantastic!! And you have to understand that this video followed another that I watched, and it took the guy forever to build his uke, and I mean he used the finest tools, materials, and exercised top notch craftsmanship... And than I watched your video. The contrast just cracked me up! You made my night, and I hope the little 3 year old loved this uke and didn't swallow a nail! :)

This is awesome! Great build!

This is very cool! I don’t have the time around the holidays to make this, but I’ll definitely try this sometime!

I enjoyed watching this video. Thank you for posting it and the free plans. I will have a go at making my bro one for his birthday. Cheers.

...and the hits keep on coming. Nicely done! Judd is going to love it

I wanna make the body for a ukulele, as I still have the neck etcetera when my bought ukulele broke.....your video was helpful....i reckon i would burn a cool design on the front sides and back to personalise it before i varnished it....very educational lesson. Thanks from Aaron in Australia

Love it! Amazing project especially with the limited resources!

Thanks for the info on using the nails for frets. Been wanting to try that but wasn't sure how I should go about trying to glue them in there.

Wow! you're awesome making that for your nephew! it sounds great to!

This is a beautiful instrument!!!

I see love in this video. Love for nephew. Love for music. Love for doing things perfectly! This came straight from my heart. You made my day bro! Thumps up! (I'm secretly hoping you can make of this for me. )

wow!!! you did a awesome job! it looks great! congrats.

I like the design, too. I'll have to check out the DIY lathe.

amazing work you men

Making 3 ukeleles in my wood shop class thing with my group and so far so well :)

This is great I love the woodburning idea

Very impressive. I make Cigar Box guitars, but you are a true craftsman & an even better uncle

That's great you are so skilled you know what to do!

Oh!! Will await the new template from you soon.. Many thanks!!

+Rameez Shaikh Are you using Windows 10? I bet you are. So, here's the deal. There's nothing wrong with the pdf. The problem is with Windows 10 or the print driver in Windows 10. If I print the template from Mac OS or Windows 7, it prints perfectly but if I print from Windows 10 it prints too small. This is really annoying! The only solution I've found is to print at a custom scale of 104.23%. I don't know if that will work for all printers but it works for mine. I only have one printer to test it on. Please let me know if that works for you and I'd love to know what operating system you are using and what printer you have.

Well Vinnie, it was printed from a Win7 OS and from a local stationery shop with some HP printer model. However, lemme check with the custom scaling as you advised and will let you know if that works.

Dude you got some skillz right there ....wowwwwh

I built this and made a few modification. I used cedar for the body, top and bottom planed to 1/8"thick, the neck is mahogany, I bought real fret wire instead of nails (about the same price), I had some hard nylon I used for the nut and saddle instead of threaded rod and I epoxied a piece of 1/4" threaded rod into the neck so I could attach it to the body with a large washer and nut, much stronger. Sounds good, fairly loud, tunes up nice. Now I learn how to play. :)

Wow, this is amazing! Well done, and beautiful!

Great plan. You want a louder uke? Use a solid quatersawn cedar or spruce piece for the top. It will double the volume of your uke. You can also make it way thinner and add a little bracing underneat. But I really like your plan.

I like the idea. I was going to build a traditional shaped soprano ukulele but then my wood wouldn't bend so I'm cutting it down and making a small bodied concert ukulele. It might not sound the best but I can't even play the instrument yet. This definitely helped with my build so thanks. On a different ukulele I'm messing with, I used cotter pins cut in half for the frets. I should have used nails and made the nut and bridge better.
