Thanks for taking the time to comment. It never dawned on me that the tuners are designed to be used in a certain direction, but it definitely makes sense. I'm really not too concerned tho. At least that tuner is doing what it was designed to do, unlike pretty much everything else on there. For my first build I wanted to stay true to what I thought was the whole idea, build an instrument from whatever you can get your hands on. I had a cheapy Strat-copy in my basement from a past failed attempt at learning an instrument, so I had 6 tuners. I'm a 51 year old carpenter, not a musician. I started playing the ukulele 7 months ago and I suck, but I love it and I love these things, everything about them. Anyway, I used what I had. I'm way more worried about the cheap ukulele tuner on the middle one!

Reeds I can use your help. I tried the steel wool in the vinegar trick (used regular table vinegar), in a closed jar, and after a few months I had - steel wool in vinegar, just what I started with. Any idea what I may have been doing wrong? Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi Reeds thanks for the welcome message. I feel very at home here already. Joined a few groups. Working on my second CBG and planning future designs as well. And Happy New Year!
In live the tendency is to go Up! rise above go higher and higher, is this a fore filling way to go , cause when you cant go any higher, then there is on...
