    A fine looking instrument.

    Looks good, nice work on the burning too!

    Thanks for the kind words.  @Dilly: b/c they're not geared, it's a *little* harder to get into tune.  Also, on the back of a narrow headstock there's not a lot of clearance for the knobs.  Geared tuners, where the knobs project to the sides, would be much easier to manipulate.

    Looks good, i've just started building my first uke and was thinking about using friction tuners, don't think I will now. What was the problem?
