Hi All,

I am not quite sure what triggered my desire to build a cigar box ukulele, other than I am interested in playing the ukulele.  Anyway, I just started reading up on fingerboards and scale lengths and decided to give it a try.  Basically I am winging it on this first instrument (other than the fingerboard).  Even though I don’t have all the parts I want yet, I have used temporary bits of hardware for the nut and saddle and I am very pleased by the sound.  It is my plan to build two more ukes (tenor and baritone) a bass and a diddley bow.  I am not a musician and just want to play these things for my own amusement.

Since I started this project I have been poking around the web for tips and I want to thank everyone who has shared their knowledge and experience so generously on the internet.
