I do not know why the KZread algorithm suggested this to me, but I watched it all, without skipping any part. This instrument is a piece of art, hopefully it will find its way into the hands of a virtuoso player, where it will shine.

Wow the end product is incredibly beautiful, and as an intermediate woodworker I learned so many things from watching you use all the special jigs and leveraging fairly simple tools to make a remarkable product
My hat is off to you, building an instrument with just basic tools is the mark of a true craftsman.

Basic tools your kidding yourself man , not even close , those tools cost , you must have dollars or other currency flowing out your backside .
Completely mesmerized. Thank you so much for sharing this huge project with us in a few minutes. So much more appreciation for all the wonderful luthiers who have made my guitars!
Fantastic job !! I always love the part in these instrument building videos when the wood takes it's first coat of a finish. When you apply the wax it has the same effect as when an artist gives an oil painting a coat of varnish and all the detail and colours jump out at you 🙂Wonderful !
So many good ideas. Pencil with ball bearing for marking. Heat gun and metal tube.. brilliant and a beautiful instrument!
Impressive from start to finish. When you got to making the kerfling and the braces I was just in awe. Super impressive build.
You’re builds are always so beautifull

folks like you leave me in awe and admiration. Just what a work of art and craftsmanship.
Using what looks like a drill press at 11:35 in order to flush everything up is a genius idea. Even if it isn't a drill press, you *could* use one if you don't have a planer since drill presses are more common.

Wonderfully made, as a bass player I would love to have this bass ❤
Really fantstic. The carve/relief and the soundhole position are SO classy and the instrument is both beautiful looking and sounds great.
Love that first test bassline, sounds kinda similar to the one in “in the mood”
Pinch of salt in the glue bed works for me. No nails necessary. Great job!
the trick with the bearing wheel line trace is awesome!
When this fellow gets near to the end of his life, he can look at his hands and say, "Well done,"
Such a beautiful journey, to watch you work. Smooth
I am delighted. I really like to see how people produce something good for people. This is very inspiring. Thanks for showing this.
I love the sanding disc on the drill press, with what appears to be a" floating" table, or we can call it drill press with "soft underpinnings" then the dial indicator !! Perfect! Laid back, cool tunes,spectacular product! Excellent video-ing!

Thank you very much! Now i can see that I don't need those fancy instruments other creators have. You showed how to decrease thickness of wood and how to bend wood.

The only, ONLY, thing that I'd do differently is to countersink the holes for the threaded inserts for the neck so that the base of the neck comes into full contact with the body. Beautiful work.
Trabalho espetacular!!!!!

I am so using that drill press thickness sander trick. I even have a 1/4" (6.25mm) shank sanding pad I can use. Thanks for the idea! Here's a tip for you. Tape a toothpick or nail onto your band saw's backstop to act as a stop while cutting your kerfing. Cheap, simple and effective.

Your solution for not having a big expensive drum sander is genius.
I think uke basses are one of the coolest instruments. As a professional cabinetmaker and a woodworking teacher you chose some very unconventional ways to do things. Those braces look way heavier than they need to be - there would be a lot more acoustic sound with lighter bracing. The end result though must say was pretty good.
@alexandermiller5425

The extra bracing will definitely help with the longevity of the instrument. Those thick steel strings will definitely try to bend it over time.

A lovely build. Two things. First fitting the dovetail so it is UNDER the top (rather than cut into it) makes life miserable for a repair person if a neck reset is ever needed - probably unlikely with low tension. Second, I wish you had given a shout out to my old friend Nigel Thronbory and his colleague Al Ashworth, who devised the orginal solid body version (the Ashbory bass) and perfected the 'rubber' strings and the tuners. The bass went through a number of big makers (with various quality control criteria), none of whom really made a success of it, but it has a dedicated cult following.
I have no idea why I haven’t thought of the sander attachment in the drill before Genius Always a great watch with an even better instrument made
Fascinating video, Thank You🙂
EXCELLENT VIDEO! I wish I had in the area where I could build a bass and the tools to make it happen. So we'll just have to watch until....😢
Very nice instrument.
Love the 1950's style playing!
